§ Mr. Bruce-GardyneThe Board of Customs and Excise estimates that about 35 posts in the existing administrative offices in Hull would be saved. The board will take all reasonable steps to avoid compulsory redundancy. The proposed transfer of management responsibilty for the Department's work in the port of Humber to two centres rather than one is to achieve a more balanced management structure in the new collections.
