HC Deb 18 January 1977 vol 924 c120W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what effect the operation of cash limits (a) has had in the current year and (b) will have had to the end of the current financial year upon the number and location of staff in his Department.

Mr. Harold Walker

The need to observe cash limits has necessitated a closer monitoring of expenditure, but their effect in the current financial year has not restricted the levels of manpower necessary to operate the services provided by my Department and its agencies.
