§ The Attorney-GeneralAll the staff in my Department are seconded to it, for varying periods, from other Departments. There is therefore a constant turnover of staff as some members return to their parent Departments at the end of their secondment and are replaced by others, whether from the same or from other Departments. However, at the end of the five-year period beginning 9 July 1979, the total number of staff remained the same as at the beginning of the period, id est 20, of whom 19 are now employed in London and one in my Belfast office. The figure of 20 is, in fact, two less than the Department's authorised establishment.
