The Department for Communities and Local Government was created in 2006. The following table shows the amount paid in bonuses by the Department since that date. Since 2010-11 the Government has limited bonus awards for senior civil servants to the top 25% of staff – down from the top 65% under Labour. This has saved around £15 million overall.

Figures for 2010-11 onwards relate to the performance year, in line with the arrangements introduced by the Government for annual publication of bonus data. Figures for 2014-15 will be published in due course.
