HC Deb 06 February 1978 vol 943 cc422-3W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what arrangements are being made to accommodate the additional staff which it is envisaged will be required at the Welsh Department of the Ministry of Agriculture after its transfer to Welsh Office responsibility; and if the additional staff will be recruited locally or transferred from other departments of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Mr. John Morris

The Property Services Agency will be building a new office in Aberystwyth for the majority of the additional staff. A few will be accommodated in Cardiff. A small proportion of the additional staff will be recruited locally and the remainder will be transferred from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and other Departments.
