HC Deb 26 January 1981 vol 997 c283W
Mr. Bob Dunn

asked the Prime Minister if she will publish in the Official Report the title and date of each Act of Parliament enacted since 1955 which had manpower implications for the Civil Service, indicating against each Act the original estimate of staff levels and the actual number of staff currently employed as a result of each item of legislation.

The Prime Minister

I am afraid that this information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
