The number based outside London and earning below the voluntary living wage outside London (£9.00), stood at approximately 44,000.</p><p>Detailed information on the Civil Service Statistics and its data collection can be found here:<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-service-statistics-2019" target="_blank"> https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-service-statistics-2019</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire answering member printed Simon Hart question first answered 31/10/2019 15:44:05 answering member 3944 label Biography information for Simon Hart
