HC Deb 27 May 1977 vol 932 cc645-6W
Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many civil servants in the Inland Revenue are wholly or mainly employed in cost efficiency pro- grammes or methods of improving manpower utilisation (a) within the Establishments Division and (b) elsewhere within the Inland Revenue; and what were the comparable figures in March 1974.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

About 105 staff within the Manpower Divisions and about 25 staff elsewhere in the Inland Revenue have jobs wholly or mainly concerned with cost efficiency or improved manpower utilisation. The corresponding figures for March 1974 were about 65 and 20, respectively.
