asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many staff were employed by his Department in relation to its responsibilities for historic buildings and ancient monuments in Wales in each year since 1979.
Until 1982, work on historic buildings and ancient monuments fell to a number of divisions in the Department and the staff engaged on these functions cannot now be accurately determined. The work was brought together in one division in 1982 and since late 1984 has been the responsibility of Cadw. The number of staff in post as at 1 January each year from 1983 (the earliest date for which figures are available) was as follows:
| Number | |
| 1983 | 209 |
| 1984 | 194 |
| 1985 | 191 |
| 1986 | 198 |
| 1987 | 194 |
