There is no standard definition of the titles referred to in the question, nor standard job title nomenclature that enables accurate or reliable provision of the information sought. Additionally, there are many public sector positions that have, or might be interpreted as having, a small component of the activities referred to. For example, there are many positions within the public sector where staff would occasionally be required to prepare speeches.
