HC Deb 17 June 1980 vol 986 c460W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has any plans further to reduce his Department's staff establishment.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

Yes. In addition to the savings of 155 posts announced last December, my Department will make manpower savings equivalent to 65 posts as a consequence of the cash limits for Civil Service pay announced earlier this year. I am also considering the contribution my Department will make to the further reductions in Civil Service numbers over the period up to 1984 announced by the Prime Minister on 13 May.

Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish the job definition of each member of his Department's staff.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

This information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
