This information is not held centrally for all Government Departments; the following is for the Cabinet Office only.

Recruitment records have been held electronically and centrally since 1 April 2001; therefore the figures provided are for the period 1 April 2001 to 31 March 2002 only. Figures prior to 1 April 2001 and divided between London and the south-east could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Figures on Government Office's senior civil service posts advertised could not be provided as Government offices do not collect this information centrally.

Grade/payband Number of posts advertised
Senior civil service 38
Band A (grade 6 and 7) 159
Band B2 (grade HEO and SEO) 232
Band B1 (grade EO) 195
Band C2 (grade AO) 214
Band C1 (grade AA) 58
