§ Mr. IllsleyTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is(a) the total number of applicants for employment within (1) the civil service and (2) the Inland Revenue broken down by age and sex over the last five years, (b) the total number of applicants interviewed for employment within (1) the Inland Revenue and (2) the civil service over the last five years and (c) the total number of applicants for employment actually appointed by (1) the civil service and (2) the Inland Revenue over the last five years.
§ Mr. MaplesNo information is held centrally about the total number by age and sex of either applicants for employment or the number of applicants interviewed. This information could not be obtained without disproportionate cost. However, some data for selected grades are available for the civil service as a whole in the Civil Service Commission annual reports. Copies are available in the House of Commons Library.
Data on entrants to the non-industrial home civil service and Inland Revenue are given in the tables.
