A civil servant, also known as a public servant, is a person employed in the public sector by a government department or agency for public sector undertakings. Civil servants work for central and state governments, and answer to the government, not a political party.

Thus, in the UK, a civil servant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
