Non-Industrial Civil Service

HC Deb 28 July 1967 vol 751 cc332-3W

Mr. Onslow

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what increase there has been in the non-industrial Civil Service since 16th October, 1964.

Mr. MacDermot

39,000 up to April, 1967.

Mr. Onslow

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much the non-industrial Civil Service is under establishment.

Mr. MacDermot

The position remains as in the Answer I gave to the hon. Member on 9th July, 1966, namely that the Civil Service is about 3 per cent. under establishment overall, but this figure is not particularly meaningful since the position varies considerably both by area and by class.—[Vol. 732, c.55.]

Mr. Onslow

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the average total annual cost to the revenue of a member of the non-industrial Civil Service; and what it was in October, 1964.

Mr. MacDermot

Average pay per head in the non-industrial Civil Service excluding the Post Office is estimated at £1,060 in October, 1964, and £1,160 now. These figures exclude overtime pay.
