§ Mr. BarnesTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what statistics he collates on the age profile of those employed in the Civil Service and Government agencies. [32120]
§ Dr. David ClarkAlmost all departments and agencies provide my department with information on the date of birth of each of their permanent staff. Regular analyses of this information are published in "Civil Service Statistics". A copy of the 1997 edition is in the libraries of the House. These analyses include the age profiles of all staff, of entrants and of staff who have resigned (figure 11, tables 8 and 9 respectively). A further source, also in the libraries, is the "Civil Service Data Summary 1996".
