Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Prime Minister how many staff now work for her; and in what capacities.

The Prime Minister

The number of staff employed, excluding messengerial and cleaning staff, is 65 full-time and two part-time. These are my private secretaries, my press secretaries, and their supporting staff employed in Civil Service grades. In addition, there are four special advisers who are paid from public funds.
