asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many persons have been recruited into his Department as temporary civil servants since September, 1965; and in what grades or ranks.

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to non-industrials. The figures are as follows:—

Administrative1
Executive209
Clerical2,164
Typing831
Messengerial, etc.275
Professional, Scientific and Technical458
Miscellaneous Technical804
Others75
Total4,817
The above figures make no allowance for the fact that substantial numbers of temporary staff left the Department over the same period.
