Senior Salaries Review Body

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Statement by the Lord President (Baroness Royall of Blaisdon) on 31 March (WS 83–84), what was the estimated size of the Ministry of Justice's non-consolidated performance-related pay pot for the senior Civil Service, in each of the last five years for which information is available.
Answer

For members of the senior Civil Service, non-consolidated performance payments are allocated by the departmental pay committees to high-performing staff to reflect their individual contribution during the previous performance year. The size of the non-consolidated performance pay pot available for the senior Civil Service is specified in guidelines issued by Cabinet Office each year following the report of the Senior Salaries Review Body and is detailed below:

Performance year Non-consolidated performance pay pot % of total SCS salary bill
2003-04 4%
2004-05 5%
2005-06 6.5%
2006-07 7.6%
2007-08 8.6%
