As at 31 December 2009, there was a total of 162 staff members serving in the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism, including the National Archives. As the Department does not have any sanctioned economist posts, a qualification in economics is not a prerequisite for staff serving in the Department. Accordingly, while the Department is aware that at least 3 members of staff have economics degrees, it is not possible to say how many staff in total have such qualifications.
