HC Deb 29 November 1983 vol 49 c449W
Mrs. Rumbold

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what were the manpower levels in his Department in June 1983; and what are his plans for those levels in June 1984.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

Staff in post in my Department—including the Property Services Agency—at the nearest date for the quarterly manpower count totalled 35,942 at 1 July 1983. The manpower totals planned for 1984–85 are 34,197 at 1 April 1984 and 33,601 at 1 April 1985; no specific figure is planned for June 1984.
