HC Deb 09 April 1984 vol 58 c60W
Mr. Terry Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many civil servants are currently employed in P5 division; and how many were employed in P5 division in December 1978 and December 1983;

(2) how many civil servants are currently employed in P3 division; and how many were employed in P3 division in December 1978 and December 1983.

Mr. Brittan

The information readily available is as follows:

October1978 December1983 April 1984
P3 Division 55 57½ 58½
P5 Division 29 37 35

Because of the redistribution of functions within the prison department since 1978 the figures for subsequent years are not directly comparable.
