Mr. Cope

[holding answer 27 February 1990]: Information in the form requested is not readily available and could be compiled only at disproportionate cost. However, the table lists the total number of Northern Ireland civil servants employed in each district council area in Northern Ireland at present and five years ago. Given the extent of change, firm projections of numbers in district council areas cannot be provided for the next three years.
