Re Resettlement forms- remember that you've got to keep the education/resettlement civil servants form processing stats up.........
The UK workforce currently totals around 29 million, of which around 5.8m work in the public sector.............
From National statistics website:
Public sector employment in the United Kingdom as a proportion of total employment was 20.4 per cent in June 2005. This was still below the June 1992 figure of 23.1 per cent but above the low point of 19.2 per cent in June 1999.
From 1991 to 1998, public sector employment fell every year, with an overall reduction of 816,000 over that period. From 1998 public sector employment rose every year to 5,846,000 in June 2005. This was 680,000 higher than in June 1998. Private sector employment rose by 1,241,000 (5.7 per cent) from June 1998 to June 2005.
Go figure.......(and watch the pre-electioneering on this topic)
