Vol. 384 No. 4

Written Answers. - Departmental Administration Costs.

42.

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the action he has taken pursuant to the recommendations in the audit conducted in his Department; and the consequential reductions, if any, estimated in the general administration costs of his Department for 1989.

Since the audit was undertaken the number of staff in my Department has to date been reduced by 273 through normal retirement, early retirement and career break schemes. This reduction greatly exceeds the number of staff identified as surplus at the time of the audit. The estimated reduction in annual administrative costs is about £4.1 million.

Some recommendations in the audit report are still under consideration.
