HC Deb 05 March 1992 vol 205 c290W
Mr. O'Neill

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the number of redundancies amongst his Department's civilian personnel that will result from "Options for Change".

Mr. Hamilton

As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence has made clear, the number of MOD civilians is expected to fall in line with the 20 per cent. reduction in the size of the armed forces. It is too early to say exactly how many redundancies will be required.
