BIS does not as a matter of routine count officials in the way asked, because officials will typically fulfil more than one role. The information has therefore required judgements to be made on the amount of time officials spend on progressing strategies to support sectors. The counts do not include officials in other teams who are sources of additional expertise, for example analytical or legal advice, or officials in other departments contributing to the delivery of the sector strategies.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Sector</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>G5 FTE</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>G6 FTE</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>G7 FTE</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>SEO FTE</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>HEO FTE</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>EO FTE</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>AO FTE</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aerospace</p></td><td><p>0.4</p></td><td><p>1.0</p></td><td><p>2.0</p></td><td><p>1.0</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 4.4</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Agritech</p></td><td><p>1.0</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>3.7</p></td><td><p>0.8</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>5.5</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Automotive</p></td><td><p>0.4</p></td><td><p>1.8</p></td><td><p>3.3</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 6.0</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Chemicals</p></td><td><p>0.3</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>1.0</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>0.2</p></td><td><p><strong>3.0</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Construction</p></td><td><p>0.25</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 7.25</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Creative Industries</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>0.5</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Defence</p></td><td><p>0.2</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>0.6</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 1.3</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Digital</p></td><td><p>0.25</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>0.25</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>0.25</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 1.75</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Electronic Systems</p></td><td><p>0.1</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>0.7</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 1.3</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>International Education</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 4.5</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Life Sciences</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2.8</p></td><td><p>1.8</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>6.1</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Marine</p></td><td><p>0.1</p></td><td><p>0.3</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 1.4</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nuclear</p></td><td><p>0.1</p></td><td><p>0.75</p></td><td><p>1.0</p></td><td><p>1.0</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 2.85</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Offshore Wind</p></td><td><p>0.2</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0.6</p></td><td><p>1.0</p></td><td><p>1.0</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 3.8</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Oil and Gas</p></td><td><p>0.3</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>2.0</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>0.2</p></td><td><p><strong> 3.5</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Professional &amp; Business Services</p></td><td><p>0.1</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>1.0</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>1.0</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 2.6</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Rail</p></td><td><p>0.2</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>0.75</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 1.95</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retail</p></td><td><p>0.1</p></td><td><p>0.2</p></td><td><p>0.2</p></td><td><p>0.1</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong> 0.6</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Dunbartonshire answering member printed Jo Swinson question first answered 27/02/2015 13:35:37 answering member 1513 label Biography information for Jo Swinson
