HC Deb 30 April 1981 vol 3 c450W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many redundancies have occurred at each of the defence establishments in the Woolwich and Greenwich areas as a result of the introduction of contract cleaning and catering services.

Mr. Goodhart

On 1 April 1981 there were vacancies for 14 skilled and 12 unskilled workers. However, in order to reduce civilian manpower within the Ministry of Defence, restrictions on recruitment are currently in force but dispensation is being sought to fill five of the unskilled posts which are regarded as being of special priority.
