Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what comparative information his Department holds on pay rates of the Information Commissioner's Office and other independent regulators and ombudsmen with similar functions for staff at the same grade.

The Ministry of Justice does not hold a comparative list on pay rates at the Information Commissioner’s Office and other similar bodies, and the information could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Information on salaries of senior staff in public bodies is published by the Cabinet Office and can be found on the GOV.UK website, or within relevant annual reports of individual bodies.
