3 20 1 5
4 13 0 0

These figures are provisional and more precise information will be published later this year in "Civil Service Statistics" copies of which are available in the Library. Information is not separately available for executive agencies. Casual and seasonal staff are excluded. Figures for total numbers at some grades are not directly comparable with 1995 figures because of reorganizations within MAFF.
