Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have further plans to reform or improve controls around high exit payments in the public sector, and whether they are considering reintroducing a cap on very high public sector exit payments.

The Government maintains its commitment to ensuring that public sector exit payments are fair and proportionate to employers, employees and taxpayers. We continue to look at different options to tackle large exit payments and consulted on introducing additional controls in 2022. The Government is considering the responses to this consultation and will publish a response in due course.
