Departmental Staff
Sir C. Osborne asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will give in column form the number of officials he employs, established and non-established, respec- tively, whose total salaries and allowances are under £1,500 per annum, between £1,500 and £3,000 per annum, between £3,000 and £5,000 per annum, between £5,000 and £7,500, and over £7,500 per annum, respectively.
Mr. Mulley: The total number of home-based officials paid from the Diplomatic Service Vote in 1968 was 10,660. Of these 8,261 were established and 2,399 non-established. I regret that information about their salaries and allowances in the form asked for by the hon. Member is not readily available; to produce it would involve a dispro- portionate expenditure of time and money.
