Membership of a staff association or trade union is a matter for individual staff. While staff are facilitated in having their membership fees deducted from their pay, I have no responsibility in relation to membership of such bodies and as such it would not be appropriate to provide the breakdown for the Civil Service sought by the Deputy.
