In Britain, a civil servant is an employee of the central government, paid out of public funds. Civil servants have to pass a special interview before employment and may have to sign the official secrets act.

There are also a second (larger) group of people who work for local councils or for government funded public bodies which are employed on similar conditions to civil servants but would be called public servants rather than civil servants.
