HC Deb 13 December 1979 vol 975 c711W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what modifications in procedures within his Department he proposes to make to save manpower.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

The changes will reflect a lesser degree of intervention in matters which are primarily the responsibility of others, such as the local authorities, and will generally be aimed at increasing efficiency. The details of implementation are still being considered and will be the subject of consultation with the Staff Side.
