Mr. Maude: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster pursuant to the answer of 27 January 2009, Official Report, columns 468-73W, on central government: manpower, what changes have been made to the methodology for calculating the Civil Service headcount since May 1997. [257013]
Kevin Brennan: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated February 2009:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent parliamentary question concerning what changes have been made to the methodology for calculating the Civil Service headcount since May 1997.
Estimates for the home civil service from Q3 2004 onwards are taken from the Civil Service element of the Quarterly Public Sector Employment Survey (QPSES). Estimates prior to this date are based on results from the Civil Service Statistics publication
(Mandate collection) available for 1 April and 1 October. A quarterly path back to 1991 was estimated by Office for National Statistics (ONS) using standard procedures.
In 2005, ONS, in collaboration with other departments and the devolved administrations, implemented major improvements to public sector employment estimates. Standard definitions for public sector employment across all departmental statistics were agreed and a single definitive set of quarterly public sector employment estimates introduced.
The following are changes in definition that were implemented as part of the transition to QPSES. To maintain consistency with Cabinet Office no revisions were made to previously published statistics.
Self-employed, contract workers and agency temporary workers should be excluded from estimates.
