Mr. W. R. Williams
asked the Minister of Supply what reductions have been made in the staff at Hans Mansions since 31st March, 1947.
Mr. Wilmot
The staff at Hans Mansions has been reduced by 14 since 31st March, 1947.
Mr. Williams
Is my right hon. Friend aware that there are some, even within the Department, who consider that there could be a reduction much more speedily without loss of efficiency, and is it intended to have the position specially examined?
Mr. Wilmot
The staff is being steadily reduced as the disposal work falls off.
Mr. Williams
But will the Minister have the position specially examined in view of the fact that this is the second occasion on which I have raised the issue with him?
Mr. Wilmot
Yes, Sir, I am quite willing to do that
