It is not possible to establish a percentage of these totals who can be said to be employed on "relatively unskilled" duties; nor is it possible to determine the total savings in any staff group resulting from improvements in methods and organisation, because variations in numbers are influenced by many factors which cannot be separately identified in their effect.
