HC Deb 26 January 1977 vol 924 c652W
20. Mr. Watt

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his latest estimate of the number of civil servants in the Scottish Office in London which will be needed after the Scottish Assembly is set up; and what is the percentage reduction that this represents.

Mr. Harry Ewing

It is not yet possible to make firm estimates as the future structure of the Scottish Office has yet to be decided.
