HC Deb 09 June 1982 vol 25 cc136-7W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Minister for the Civil Service how many posts in each Government Department will come within the proposed functional specialism for Civil Service accountants: and how many of these will be reserved for staff with a professional accountancy qualification.

Mr. Hayhoe

The number of posts at the inception of the functional specialism is currently under review with each of the Departments concerned and final figures are not yet available. Our latest estimate is that there will be 683 posts for qualified accountants and 410 for staff who have substantial accountancy experience but not necessarily an accountancy qualification. Following are details by Department showing the latest position.
