Mr. Bill Michie: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade
and Industry how many civil servants are currently employed (a)
full time and (b) part time by his Department on (i) home
defence planning, (ii) emergency planning, (iii)liaison with
NATO central supplies agency and (iv) work connected with the
NATO industrial planning committee.

Mr. Leigh: This work is shared between a group of seven
staff in my Department. Three of these are also engaged on
other duties and one works part time, making a total equivalent
of five full-time staff.
Much of the work of the NATO industrial planning committee
concerns planning for the establishment and operation of the
Central Supplies Agency, which would only become operational
in times of crisis and war. The amount of staff time allocated
to each subject varies with the work load, but currently it is
approximately as follows:

Percentage

Home Defence Planning 25
Civil Emergency Planning 35
Work connected with the NATO Industrial
Planning Committee and the establishment and
operation of the Central Supplies Agency 40
