The aims of the project were: to analyse the factors propelling change in the Civil Service outside Whitehall; to create a database of the Civil Service outside Whitehall covering numbers of employees, units, expenditure and functions; to map the procedures for recruitment, promotion, training, pay and conditions of employment; to describe how those who work in the Civil Service outside Whitehall perceive both their work and the Civil Service; to explore the tensions between territorial and functional politics. The dataset is compiled from official sources covering 1939-1999.

Main Topics:

The data include a non-industrial Civil Service headcount by responsibility level and region (1997) and time series for 1975-1996 for UK by region and department; a time series of Northern Ireland non-industrial Civil Service staff by department and by grade 1939-1996; a time series of Isle of Man Civil Service staff 1970-1999; and an analysis of Guernsey and Jersey statistics.
