The numbers of staff currently assigned to work on constituency matters within my Department is set out in the following table. The officers in question are not paid on a monthly basis and therefore the annual salary for those officers is provided. The question of further appointments to my constituency office will be considered shortly, in line with the recently issued guidelines on the staffing of Ministerial Offices.
