HC Deb 25 February 1949 vol 461 c340W
Lieut.-Commander Clark Hutchison

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty the number of non-industrial and industrial civil servants, respectively, in the service of the Admiralty, other than those employed in dockyards at home and overseas, on 1st January, 1949.

Mr. W. Edwards

The numbers were as follows: Non-industrial—25,260 (including approximately 500 locally entered abroad); industrial—55,610 (including approximately 8,150 locally entered abroad). The comparable figures for 1948 for non-industrial staff locally entered abroad were 580. These figures were not included in my reply to the hon. and gallant Member on 23rd February, 1948, because, as I explained on that occasion, the comparable figures for 1939 were not available. The figures given for industrial staff for 1948 included 11,980 locally entered abroad.
