According to the Civil Service census, which relates to the first working day of each calendar year, the total number of civil servants was 28,039 on 1st January, 1959 and 30,383 on 1st January, 1964. Of these 92 and 84, respectively, were not in receipt of remuneration because of their being, for instance, on special leave or sick leave without pay. I regret that statistics for the dates mentioned by the Deputy are not available.
