I regret to inform the House that the answer I gave on 8 July to a parliamentary question, Hansard, column 802W, about the breakdown of staff employed at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) was incorrect.

The MCA has checked the figures and the answer should read:

The number of staff employed by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), broken down into the categories asked, since 2002 is shown in the table. The MCA's systems only hold records back to 2002:

2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008
Surveyors 173 177 188 194 190 192 181
Coastguard Control Centre 537 515 531 545 534 532 501
Administrative 386 411 423 473 467 472 422
Human Resources 47 55 50 57 58 58 54

Administrative staff includes, for example, Senior Managers and Policy Leads as well as Administrators.
