Let G be a finite group that acts on a finite group V, and let p be a prime that does not divide the order of V. Then the p-parts of the orbit sizes are the same in the actions of G on the sets of conjugacy classes and irreducible characters of V. This result is derived as a consequence of some general theory relating orbits and chains of p-subgroups of a group.
