HC Deb 23 March 1977 vol 928 cc542-3W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister for the Civil Service why cuts in Civil Service staff costs not allocated to programmes in Command Paper No. 6393, but announced in Command Paper No. 6393, of £62 million in 1977–78 and £175 million in 1978–79—at 1976 survey prices—have been reversed in Command Paper No. 6721.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

These cuts have not been reversed. I would refer the hon. Member to note (2) to table 10 in Command Paper 6721–I.
