Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment the Government has made of publishing details of all public sector pay above the £100,000 threshold for which it holds the relevant information.

The Civil Service aims to be as transparent as possible, and already discloses a significant amount of senior pay data. The Office for National Statistics publishes a range of detailed pay information in its annual release of Civil Service Statistics, including the number of staff earning over £100,000 and other pay information. The latest release is available at:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/publicsectorpersonnel/datasets/civilservicestatistics

In addition, since 2010 the Government has published an annual list of individuals in departments, agencies and Non-departmental Public Bodies earning £150,000 and above. Departments also publish organograms every six months that include individualised salary information for their most senior staff

Relevant departments are responsible for transparency policy in wider public sector workforces.
