Interesting Cabinet Office figures on the full-time equivalent head count in the Civil Service.

In March 1997 it was 495,000; in September 2023 it was 496,000.

Head count lowest in 2016 when it was 387k; high point was 2004 when it was 534k.

When will the Lords debate Rwanda?

Understand much of the timetable has already been agreed

2nd reading Jan 29

Committee stage February 12/14/19

Report probably March 4, 3rd reading March 12

So MPs will be looking at (ie trying to remove) Lords amendments by about March 18
