HC Deb 27 January 1981 vol 997 c355W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate of the number of civil servants employed in Customs and Excise in Scotland, giving a breakdown into appropriate grades; and how this compares with 1970 and 1975.

Mr. Peter Rees

The numbers and grades of Customs and Excise staff employed in Scotland at 1 January 1975 and 1 January 1981 were:

1 January 1975 1 January 1981
Assistant secretary 4 4
Senior principal 6 7
Principal 26 24
SEO 141 121
HEO 666 517
EO 622 690
CO 435 423½
CA 75 94½
Revenue assistant 589 592½
Other 64 59
Total 2628 2532½

I regret that comparable figures for 1970 cannot be obtained without disproportionate cost.
