HC Deb 03 February 1972 vol 830 cc190-1W
Dame Joan Vickers

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will name the Departments which have increased the number of non-industrial civil servants and their various grades; how many are temporary; and how many are men or women.

Mr. David Howell

In the period 1st July, 1970, to 1st October, 1971, the following Departments increased their non-industrial numbers by over 100:

  • Customs & Excise.
  • Defence.
  • Employment.
  • Health and Social Security.
  • Home Office.
  • Inland Revenue.
  • Lord Chancellor's Departments, including the Land Registry.
  • Office of Population Censuses and Surveys. Scottish Office.
  • Stationery Office.
  • Trade and Industry.

These net increases result from expansions and reductions in different parts of the Departments concerned, including in some cases inter-departmental transfers of responsibilities and staff. It is not possible from information available centrally to analyse the net increases by grade, sex or status of the staff.
