Mr. Caplin

Figures for service and civilian personnel and overall staff costs relating to each organisation are provided below. Information on numbers of service personnel working in Scotland is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

1Figures refer to permanent staff only and include proportionate values for part time staff.

2All figures are rounded to the nearest 10, as a result totals may not always equal the sum of the parts.

3Personnel information is collected and presented in different forms across MOD according to local management need, as a result the figures in this table may differ slightly from those in other published sources such as the Agencies' Annual Reports and Accounts.

4Strength of UK regular forces.
