HC Deb 19 February 1980 vol 979 c135W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the latest number of personnel employed by his Department in Wales; and how this figure compares with that of 3 May 1979.

Mr. Whitelaw

820 Home Office staff were employed in Wales on 1 February 1980 compared with 787 on 1 May 1979. This increase results from the transfer of forensic science work from the former laboratory at Bristol to the new laboratory at Chepstow.
