Earl Attlee

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many people are employed by the Army Base Repair Organisation's workshop at Sennybridge in (a) productive work; and (b) administrative functions. [HL4283]

The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence (Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean)

The ABRO site at Sennybridge employs 20 staff in all. All staff make a contribution to the productive output in their own particular roles. In the workshop 10 employees are involved directly on production work. Six staff are employed either in a supporting role (such as storekeeping, labouring and administration) or in a supervisory/managerial role. Three staff are employed in the Contract Repair Office, which places work with nominated local contractors, and one member of staff is employed in the Equipment Collection Centre, which collects equipment from units throughout South Wales for repair in other ABRO facilities.
