HC Deb 26 October 1982 vol 29 cc337-8W
Mr. Whitehead

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish the total number—full-time equivalent—of administrative grade civil servants in England and Wales in each year since 1952.

Mr. Hayhoe:

Figures relating to administrative grade civil servants in England and Wales only since 1952 are not available centrally. Disproportionate effort and cost would be involved in attempting to obtain this imformation.
