§ Ms. Richardsonasked the Minister for the Arts what was the number of (a) women and (b) men employed within each grade in his Department in each year since 1979.
§ Mr. LuceSince the creation of the Office of Arts and Libraries as a separate Department in 1983 the numbers have been as follows:
the on-site operation of the reprographic unit of the directorate general of defence quality assurance at Woolwich arsenal;
(2) what estimate he has made as to how many jobs are likely to be lost if the reprographic unit of the directorate general of defence quality assurance is transferred to private contractors; and what are the estimated annual savings;
(3) what discussion he has reached on the possible contractorisation of the reprographic unit of the directorate general of defence quality assurance.
§ Mr. SainsburyThe tenders for the on-site operation of the reprographic unit of the directorate general of defence quality assurance at Woolwich arsenal are in the course of 385W preparation. It is not therefore possible at this stage to say whether the task will be contractorised, whether jobs would be lost or what savings might be effected.
