HC Deb 27 October 1982 vol 29 cc416-7W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many agricultural wages inspectors have been employed by his Department in Wales in each year since 1976.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards:

Since 1976, five staff have been employed for part of their time as agricultural wages inspectors. Prior to the decentralisation of agriculture functions to the Welsh Office on 1 April 1978, these staff were members of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
