§ Dr. Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the grades, professional qualifications and amount of time expended, in full-time equivalents, by those staff engaged within his Department in developing personal social services grant-related expenditure.
§ Mr. John PattenWork on developing personal social services grant-related expenditure assessments is undertaken by a number of staff working in finance, statistics, policy and other divisions within the Department, as a part of their wider responsibilities for personal social service matters. As this particular work is widely dispersed in the Department, it is difficult to identify the precise amount of staff time spent.
