Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether there is a desk note on exit payments to (a) Senior Civil Servants and (b) Permanent Secretaries.

Thank you for your question, I refer to the terms of the Civil Service Compensation Scheme (CSCS), a statutory Scheme for all civil servants, including the SCS and Permanent Secretaries, which allows the payment of compensation to members who leave on early departure terms.
