HC Deb 19 November 1986 vol 105 cc210-1W
Mr. Neale

asked the Paymaster General what is the full complement of the Agricultural Inspectorate of the Health and Safety Executive; and how many staff are currently in post.

Mr. Trippier

On 1 November 1986 there were 244 staff in post in the Agricultural Inspectorate, including 165 agricultural inspectors. This figure is slightly above the planned figure of 162 inspectors for the current financial year because of recent recruitment in anticipation of forthcoming wastage.
