An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Putney (Justine Greening) on 12 June 2009. The figure cited for the number of 26 Jun 2009 : Column 6MC
executive officers/administrative assistants (executive and administrative support) in the Government office for the South East for the year 2006-07 was incorrect. The correct answer is as follows:
Ms Rosie Winterton:
Each of the nine Government offices in the English regions are led by a regional director who is supported by deputy regional directors and mainstream civil servants working in grades from grade 6 to administrative assistant. Consequently the figures quantify staff numbers by those grades.
Prior to 2003 the personnel management arrangements for senior civil service staff (regional directors and deputy regional directors) working within the network were the responsibility of their employing departments. Consequently GO network records are not available prior to 2003.
Based upon staff in post figures GO staff, including fixed term appointments, casual employees and those staff temporarily away from the office (eg on maternity leave or career break) in April of each year specified, the table below gives the figures requested.
Government office
Regional directors
Deputy regional directors (senior management)
Grade 6—higher executive officer(specialist and delivery managers)
Executive officer—admin asst (executive and administrative support)
