Original Note:
Apart from the 40,000 civil servants in the UK at the turn of the 19th/20th century, many more numbers of local staff were hired. Add to that the many services paid for and run by the colonies themselves and total numbers will be significantly higher https://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/uk-government-did-we-rule-the-empire-with-4000-civil-servants/
