Competition and Markets Authority: Pay
(asked on 25th March 2024) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what the pay ranges at each grade are for Competition and Markets Authority staff based (a) in and (b) outside London.
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.
