Staffing: headcount and grades

Published 21 February 2011

We were asked for

(1) the total number of staff employed (headcount and FTE) by the Wales Office within Wales as at 31 December 2010;

(2) the proportion of the above who fall within Senior Civil Service grades;

(3) a breakdown by workplace of the overall Wales Office staffing figure;

The Wales Office does not employ any staff directly but is instead staffed through loans from other government departments and the Welsh Assembly Government. However, the total number of staff based in the Wales Office within Wales on 31 December 2010 was 19, which equates to an FTE figure of 17.82. Of these, none are members of the Senior Civil Service.

The Wales Office has 19 staff based in Cardiff; and 37 in London
