PQ: MR JOHN TILLEY:
сп...
CROWN SERVANTS IN THE DEPENDENT TERRITORIES
1. We spoke about Mr Tilley's request for any available information connected with the above PQ to be given to him this afternoon.
I have some of the figures for Civil Servants in the Dependent Territories. These are as follows:
2.
Thank you we spoke.
Belize
British Virgin Islands
Falkland Islands
Gibraltar
Montserrat
St Helena and Dependencies
2750
Hong Kong
approx 150,000
683
190
1897
746
475 TOTAL
156,741
I attach a breakdown of 2 of the territories, Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands.
3. I should point out that some of the figures in paragraph 2 above may well include BSUKCS, i.e. officers recruited in the UK and paid or having their salaries topped-up from aid money. It may not in the final analysis be possible to extract these from the total figure.
4.
The total figure will not include members of HM Diplomatic Service, HM Forces, civilian members of MOD or other UK based organisations, e.g. the PSA.
5. You were kind enough to say that you would ask Mr Tilley if he could be more specific about 'categories of employment'.
I should be most grateful to have an answer this afternoon so that I may inform departments involved.
