1 Ethnic origin representation is calculated by taking ethnic minority respondents as a proportion of all respondents to the Department's ethnic survey. The response rate as at 28 February 1994 was 63.2 per cent. Asterisks have replaced very small numbers to avoid identifying individuals.
2 Figures for disabled staff are for full time equivalents and cover only those registered as disabled: there are other staff with disabilities who have chosen not to register.
