§ Mr. AlexanderThe figures for the Cabinet Office, based on headcount for the number of permanent staff, are as follows:
50+ Other Total 1997–98 14 76 90 1998–99 19 62 81 1999–2000 20 129 149 2000–01 28 149 177 2001–02 24 153 177 The figures shown in the following tables represent the data reported to Mandate during the years from 1997–98 to 2001–02, based on headcount, for the number of permanent staff in each department. The figures shown are the overall figures for Departments including any Departmental Agencies. The Tables will also be placed in the Libraries of the House.
The Mandate database consists of data collected electronically from Departments and agencies and covers about 98 per cent. of civil servants in Great Britain. Some Departments and agencies are unable to supply data to Mandate for technical reasons and provide summary data instead.
The figures are based on the Departments as they were after the structural changes made following the 2001 election.
