HC Deb 14 December 1979 vol 975 c782W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will publish in the Official Report full details of any plans that he may have to reduce the size of the Civil Service in Ulster, including the extent of the financial saving that might be gained by such a reduction.

Mr. Humphrey Atkins

Details of the Northern Ireland Office contribution towards the reduction in the cost of the United Kingdom Civil Service were published in theOfficial Report for 6 December 1979.—[Vol. 975, c. 639.]

The Northern Ireland Civil Service will make a contribution broadly in line with that of the United Kingdom Civil Service. I hope to make an announcement shortly.
