32. Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what will be the total number of Home Office staff engaged in research following the merging of the research unit with the criminal policy planning unit; and how the new number will differ from the old one.

Mr. Whitelaw

The proposed strength of the new research and planning unit is 52, including 30 in the research group. There is expected to be a saving of about 23 posts, of which about 14 will be in the research group.
