Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many Instant Rewards of what value were given to his Department's officials in (a) 2013 and (b) 2014 to date.
This question was answered on 10th November 2014
The number of Instant Rewards awarded to employees in the Department for Transport, and the total amount spent in (a) 2013 and (b) 2014 is shown in the table below.
| Financial Year | Number of staff | Total Spend |
| 2013/14 | 2,079 | £774,138 |
| 2014/15 | 981 | £404,780 |
In 2013 the Department increased the size of the available pot for Instant Rewards following the decision to only pay end of year non-consolidated performance payments to the top 25% of employees. This has reduced the overall spend on non-consolidated performance payments by c. £1.4m.
