HC Deb 17 November 1978 vol 958 c393W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many civil servants are employed at strike centres in the payment of supplementary benefits to the dependants of Ford strikers.

Mr. Deakins

The number fluctuates according to the amount of work to be done. Arrangements have been made for information on staffing to be sent in at the end of the dispute, and I shall write to the hon. Member as soon as the returns have been summarised.
