Mr. Hague

The information is shown in the following table:

As at 31 March 1992 31 March 1993 31 December 1994 31 December 1995 21 November 1996
(a) Full Time 2321 2237 2053 1943 1764

(c) FTA n/a n/a n/a 122 138
(d) Casual 135 182 232 132 203

The table provides data for Welsh Office and executive agency Cadw. To disaggregate the data would be a disproportionate cost.

1. Part-time staff were counted as a whole time person until 1994 and from April 1995 they were calculated as full time equivalents based on their working hours.

2. Fixed-term Appointments—this information is not available prior to 1995.

3. Generally all fixed-term appointments are renewable.

4. Casual and temporary posts are classified as casual.
