Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what were the average salaries of central Government civil servants, broken down by grade, who retired in the last full year for which figures are available; and what were those peoples average salaries two years before retirement, broken down by grade.

The average salaries of civil servants at delegated grades who retired between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2019 are below. We do not track individual salaries back to previous years at delegated grades.

These figures are sourced from the Annual Civil Service Employment Survey, rounded to the nearest £100, and only include those with a known salary: 22% of retirees did not have a reported salary.

Average salaries of civil servants at a Senior Civil Service (SCS) level who retired between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2019, for the most recent available year and two years prior are below.

These figures are sourced from the Cabinet Office SCS database. Grade is as at the time of retirement. Figures are not released where less than 5 staff are counted (indicated by “-”), rounded to the nearest £100, and only include those with a known salary in both years. Salary data is not available for all prior years, and 19% of retirees did not have a recorded salary over this period.
