Public Bodies

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the total number of employees of non-departmental public bodies in (a) 2009–10, (b) 2008–09, (c) 2007–08, (d) 2006–07, and (e) 2005–06.
Answer

This information is published in the annual Cabinet Office Public Bodies report. Copies are available from the Libraries of the House and can be downloaded from www.civilservice.gov.uk/ndpb. The information is as follows:

Date Staffing (in Executive NDPBS)
31 March 2006 93,416
31 March 2007 96,456
31 March 2008 92, 695
31 March 2009 111,129

Information for 2009-10 will be published in Public Bodies 2010 in due course. However, in line with our commitment to greater transparency, returns from a workforce management information scoping exercise covering staffing levels as at 31 March 2010 in most NDPBs and other public bodies have been published on the Cabinet Office website. This can be downloaded from www.cabinet-office.gov.uk. This management information is incomplete. It has not been collated or held centrally before now. We are endeavouring to collate accurate and comprehensive headcount data to support effective management practices.
