Letter of correction from Brandon Lewis:
An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Denton and Reddish (Andrew Gwynne) on 18 December 2012.
The full answer given was as follows:
Brandon Lewis
The information is as follows, including comparative figures for 2009-10:
Performance year | Year end | In year | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
2009-10 | 832,491 | 181,426 | 1,013,917 |
2010-11 | 580,050 | 113,830 | £693,880 |
2011-12 | 247,750 | 296,500 | 544,250 |
With effect from 1 August 2011, my Department abolished Annual Performance and Special Performance Bonus schemes, replacing them with a new Exceptional Performance scheme. This scheme applies to all staff below the senior civil service and under it individuals or teams can be recognised for exceptional performance or achievements through awards of up to £600.
This Government have limited senior civil service bonuses to the top 25% of performers. My Department has exercised further restraint by limiting the value of bonus payments to 90% of the civil service-wide maxima.
The correct answer should have been:
