§ Numbers of posts in each of the above areas at grade 3 (under secretary or equivalent), grade 4 (executive director (middle band) or equivalent) and grade 5 (assistant secretary or equivalent) levels are as follows. Because of the substantial reorganisation of the Ministry of Defence which came into effect on 2 January 1985, complementing action and computer programming in the manpower areas are still in progress. Therefore the full breakdown of staff numbers requested could not be obtained without disproportionate cost or within the time available.
