HC Deb 26 March 1952 vol 498 c60W
Mr. Janner

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the number of home-based civil servants serving abroad in various categories such as clerical, executive, works group, including mechanical and electrical engineers, scientific, technical and draughtsmen, respectively.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

No central record is kept of home-based non-industrial civil servants serving outside the United Kingdom. I estimate that they number about 9,000, but I am unable to say how they are distributed between various grades.
