- 1. The data cover UK regular forces and UK based permanent civilian personnel counted in official Ministry of Defence civil service figures. Civilian figures are full-time equivalents, where part time staff are counted in proportion to the hours worked.
- 2. The data exclude all Defence Evaluation and Research Agency Staff and the UK Hydrographic Office, on whom reliable data is not available on the same basis.
It would not be possible to give the location of each member of staff without disproportionate cost. However the locations of the Agencies which employ the majority of staff in Scotland are as follows:
- Queen Victoria School—Dunblane, Perthshire;
- Army Base Repair Organisation—Forthside, Stirling;
- Defence Codification Agency—Glasgow;
- Army Personnel Centre—Glasgow;
- Army Training and Recruiting Agency—Glencourse;
- Ship Support Agency—Rosyth;
- Naval Recruiting and Training Agency—Rosyth and Greenock;
- Naval Bases and Supplies Agency—approximately 2,800 of the 4,016 staff employed in Scotland by the Naval Bases and Supplies Agency are based at Faslane, with the remainder located at a number of different sites throughout Scotland;
- Staff employed by the Meterological Office and the MOD Police are located in a number of different sites throughout Scotland.
