§ Mr. HayhoeThe increase in the number of civil servants in the Treasury between 1 January 1979 and 1 January 1984 resulted from the transfer of certain functions, and the staff employed on them, from the Civil Service Department to the Treasury on 7 December 1981 by the Transfer of Functions (Minister for the Civil Service and Treasury) Order 1981 (S.I. No. 1670). The figure of 2,377 on 1 January 1984 shows a decrease of 205½ from the figure of 2,582½ on 1 January 1982 following that transfer of functions.
