Notes:
1. These figures are the estimated total pay costs of the non-industrial Civil Service in the years in question.
2. These figures show the out-turn on pay costs for the non-industrial Civil Service in the years in question.
3. Out-turn figures are not readily available for years earlier than 1973-74. The figures shown are the basic pay costs for the non-industrial Civil Service on 1 January in each of the years shown. They are not strictly comparable with the out-turn figures for later years as they do not include the cost of overtime.
