Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how much her Department spent on end of year bonus payments for members of staff involved in export support roles in 2021-22.

We have interpreted your question to mean end of year performance bonuses paid to those employees whose roles directly support on export activity.

Within the former Department for International Trade, the Director General for Exports and Trade area has a primary role of supporting on exports. In the year 2021 – 2022 the Director General for Exports and Trade Group paid out at total of £250,115 to 195 people for end of year performance bonuses.
