Projected staffing levels for the Department of Communities and Local Government by 31 March 2007 are 2,190 full-time equivalents. However, these estimates are expected to change following the transfer of some work and staff from the Department of Trade and Industry and the Home Office to the Department as part of the machinery of government changes announced in May.
