(1)The figures exclude staff employed in the police, magistrates courts and probation services.
(2)The statistics from which these change figures are derived include, at September 1979. staff employed under the Government's Special Temporary Employment Programme (STEP): the figures for September 1980 do not. The change figures therefore reflect the effects of removing about 5,000 STEP employees from the survey between those dates.
