HC Deb 18 December 1985 vol 89 c161W
Mr. Gow

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many civil servants there are in his Department employed (a) in Scotland and (b) outside Scotland; and how many in each category were born in Scotland.

Mr. Younger

The number of Scottish Office staff in post (full-time equivalents) on 1 December 1985 comprised 9,849 based in Scotland and 31 outside Scotland. Information about place of birth would be disproportionately costly to obtain.
