HC Deb 14 January 1976 vol 903 cc173-4W
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what was the total sum paid by the Treasury for the remuneration of civil servants working in Scotland, in each year from 1960 to 1975, giving the precise amount for each year.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

I regret that the information requested is not available, since statistics of the geographical distribution of individual civil service grades are not maintained. It is not, therefore, possible to calculate the annual salary bill by geographical area.
