Notes

1. Any enquiries should be directed to enquiries@cps.gsi.gov.uk
2. The CPS does not hold supplier VAT registration numbers.
3. If a single invoice has been coded to multiple expense types and/or expense areas the value shown is the amount paid against each individual expense type/expense area combination, even where each entry at this level may be less than £25,000.
4. The CPS does not reclaim VAT. Therefore the gross payment is published as this represents the full cost of the transaction to the department.
5. Payments to the barristers listed in these data represent gross fee payments, which is not the same as income. From their gross fees all self employed barristers have to deduct the costs of running their practices. They also have to make their own provision for holiday, sickness and pension provision. Payments shown are inclusive of VAT, which barristers have to repay to the government.

All government departments, including the CPS, have been required by the Government to limit spending, and since 24 May 2010, there have been moratoria in place on spending in specific areas, namely:

• A freeze on all new ICT spend above £1 million
• A freeze on all new advertising and marketing spend
• A freeze on all new consultancy spend
• Increased control over new property leases and lease extensions and
• A freeze on Civil Service recruitment

Under certain circumstances, exceptions to these moratoria can be applied, for example in order to maintain critical services. The Excel document exceptions to spending moratoria applied for by the CPS lists the exceptions applied for by the CPS in relation to the spending moratoria introduced by the Government in May 2010.

The following data shows staff numbers for the CPS (both payroll and non-payroll staff) expressed in Full Time Equivalents by Civil Service Grade in addition to payroll costs during the relevant periods.

Data is provided to show monthly updates covering each respective month. This data is published as part of the Government's drive for transparency within the public sector. 

Earlier data (from 2010-11) can be accessed via the Government Web Archive. 

Users should note:

1. These figures are not Official Statistics. They are internal workforce management information published in the interests of transparency.
2. These figures have not been reconciled centrally with any National Statistics. Where differences appear between the monthly information and National Statistics, clarifying comments are provided.
3. The ONS quarterly public sector employment survey continues to provide an official headline measure for comparing the overall size of employment in central government organisations with other sectors of the economy at the relevant quarterly reference point.
4. Given the wide range of organisations covered, caution should be exercised when drawing inferences from the figures and care should be taken when making comparisons between organisations. Users of this management information should refer to any additional commentary and notes where these are provided.
