HC Deb 12 May 1981 vol 4 c259W
Mr. Knox

asked the Lord Privy Seal what is the total number of civil servants employed in each member State of the European Community; and what proportion of the total population of each member State they represent.

Sir Ian Gilmour

We do not have this information and, because of the differing definitions of civil servants in the member States, it would not be possible to provide an answer based on the same categories throughout the Community.
