§ Mr. DunnThirteen in 1975 and 24 in 1976—up to 30th November. The figures include retirements on pension before reaching the age limit and other voluntary resignations, but exclude compulsory retirements on age or medical grounds. Such statistics have only been maintained since 1st January 1975, and comparable figures for 1973 and 1974 could not be provided without incurring unreasonable expense and effort.
