Mr. Redwood

"Public Bodies", published annually since 1982, contains staffing information for those bodies not covered by "Civil Service Statistics".

Details of running costs and the Civil Service pay bill for my Department can be found in table 10.01 of my Department's annual report (Command 2815). The table also gives details of overtime from 1991–92 onwards.

Copies of all of these publications are available in the Library of the House.

The remaining information sought could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
