HC Deb 12 February 1979 vol 962 cc388-9W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many of the additional Civil Service posts which will be available in Wales as a result of establishing the Welsh Assembly, he estimates will be transferred into Wales from existing Civil Service jobs; and how many will be recruited locally.

Mr. John Morris

It is impossible at present to be precise, but more than half the additional posts are likely to be at levels at which local recruitment will be the main source of supply.
