The answer reflects the assumption that the Member refers to the Public Sector Workforce Renewal policy announced in the 2014‑15 Mid‑year Review.
(a) No.
(i) Not applicable.
(b) Excluded from the policy are agencies with less than 30 full-time equivalent employees, Government Trading Enterprises (except the Public Transport Authority) and Parliamentary Services.  These agencies have been excluded because of their small scale and because measures of this nature typically apply to appropriation‑funded general government agencies (and the Public Transport Authority).
