The figures shown are the average number of officers and servants employed by local authorities. A breakdown between permanent and temporary staff is not possible from the information available in my Department.
Columns (a) show figures of staff for whom I am the appropriate Minister. Columns (b) relate to staff for whom other Ministers are the appropriate Ministers. The figures do not include those employed by Vocational Education Committees or County Committees of Agriculture.
