§ Mr. MaloneDetailed information is not collected centrally. However we estimate that about two thirds of the increase in general and senior management numbers between 1991 and 1992 and almost half the increase between 1992 and 1993 may be due to the reclassification of staff from professional and administrative groups as managers.
