The figures are taken from the Civil Service Census which relates to the first working day of the calendar year. The 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1958 figures include temporary classes— mainly Scale-payment Sub-postmasters, Branch Managers of Employment Exchanges and certain part-time employees—whose estimated total number is 2,700 at most and who were excluded from the Census from 1959 onwards. The 1967 figures are provisional; a break-down of the number serving, as between permanent and temporary, is not yet available.
