As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question, pursuant to the answer of 23 February 2009, Official Report, columns 404-9W, on public sector: manpower, for what reasons a list of the public sector bodies which were classified as central government but not for the purpose of the Civil Service employee headcount in 1997 is not available.

In 2005, Office for National Statistics (ONS) in collaboration with other departments and the devolved administrations, implemented major improvements to public sector employment estimates. Although records for earlier periods were passed to ONS, at the time of the aforementioned answer of 23 February 2009, information on public sector bodies which were classified as central government but not for the purpose of the Civil Service employee headcount in 1997 could not be found.
Further effort to find the information has brought it to light. The requested information is attached at Annex A.
