Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the ratio between the salary of a civil servant on the lowest grade to the Permanent Secretary in each of the Government departments represented in the Cabinet.

Government departments do not publish details of the salary ratio of their highest to lowest paid employees. The Office for National Statistics do publish the salary ratio of highest to median earners for each Civil Service organisation. These ratios are published annually as part of Civil Service Statistics and can be found attached.
