(5) This table uses the revised definition of civilian personnel (see www.dasa.mod.uk).
(6) From the 1 January 2006 reporting, DASA has been able to identify a methodology to correctly identify all of the ABRO staff. Civilian Level 0 and overall figures by Government office region and country are unaffected by this change.
Notes:
1. All figures are rounded to the nearest 10, as a result totals may not always equal the sum of the parts.
2. Figures include values for part-time staff proportionate to those of full-time staff.
