§ Mr. Robert Taylorasked the Minister for the Civil Service how many senior civil servants in receipt of retirement pensions have been re-employed on a full-time or part-time basis in the Civil Service.
§ Mr. David HowellThe total number of retired civil servants at present employed in Government Departments is estimated at 20,000–21,000. Most of them are industrial civil servants or are employed in the more junior non-industrial positions. Detailed statistics are not kept by grades, and such information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
