To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how much was paid in (a) year-end and (b) in-year bonuses to officials of her Department in each of the last three years.
Mr Ben Wallace
In the last three financial years my Department paid officials the following amounts for year-end and in-year bonuses:
|
Financial Year |
In-Year Bonuses (£) |
Year-End Bonuses (£) |
|
2012/13 |
22,100 |
35,800 |
|
2013/14 |
32,150 |
31,800 |

2014/15 |

25,600 |
Non-consolidated performance related pay is only paid to reward excellence, for example to recognise and incentivise those responsible for delivering high quality public services and savings to the taxpayer. These one-off payments are not pensionable. Since 2010-11, the Government has restricted awards for senior civil servants to the top 25% of performers (from 65% in previous years), saving around £15 million overall.
