Remarks:
(a) The figures shown represent the number of officers serving in a substantive capacity in the grades on the first working day of the calendar year.
(b) The figures given for the grade of Assistant Principal are not strictly comparable from year to year for the reason that a number of posts formerly designated by various other titles were subsequently renamed Assistant Principal posts in the course of Departmental reorganisations extending over a number of years. Only those posts designated as Assistant Principal on the relevant dates have been included in the statement as after the lapse of years the identification of the several renamed posts is not practicable.
(c) Cadets serving in the Department of External Affairs who are on the same scale of pay as Junior Administrative Officers are included under this heading.
