Competition and Markets Authority: Pay

Answer

Current pay at the Competition and Markets Authority ranges from a minimum of £25,300 to a maximum of £27,900 for Administrative Officers, the lowest pay grade, to a minimum of £127,000 to a maximum of £208,100 for Senior Civil Service Pay Band 3, which is Director General level and the most senior grade. My officials will share a detailed breakdown of pay ranges separately.

In relation to pay in and outside of London, the CMA does not differentiate pay based on location. Pay and funding are the responsibility of HM Treasury, who are the financial sponsors of the CMA.
