Public Service Employees

Mr. Hordern
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what were the numbers of civil servants, and local authority employees, and other servants of public bodies as a proportion of the employed population 1964; and, at the latest available date, and from international data available to him, how these figures compare with West Germany, France, Italy, Japan and the United States of America.

Mr. Robert Sheldon
Following is the information for the United Kingdom. There is no data avilable from international bodies for the other countries on a comparable basis.-----------------------------------------------------------------
