House of Lords (Administrative Cost)

HC Deb 01 August 1980 vol 989 cc851-2W

Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what economies in the administrative cost of the House of Lords have been achieved since May 1979.

Mr. Channon

None, but I understand that the authorities in another place make every effort to ensure that administrative expenditure is kept to a minimum, and a staffing review is currently being carried out.
