Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to increase the pay bands of Permanent Secretaries.

The Government is committed to delivering value for money for the taxpayer. We will publish written evidence to the Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) later this year, and will consider any recommendations from the SSRB on the remuneration of Senior Civil Servants, including Permanent Secretaries, when it reports next year.
