HC Deb 29 October 2001 vol 373 c544W
Mr. Luff

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many staff in Worcestershire Trading Standards Department are working with her Department on issuing autumn livestock movements licences; what other responsibilities these individuals have; and if she will make a statement. [8991]

Mr. Morley

I understand from Worcestershire county council that three staff are employed on autumn movement work on Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays with an additional person working on Mondays and Fridays more staff would be deployed if the workload should arise.
