Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the average salary increase was for each grade Defence Equipment and Support employee in 2016.
In 2016, the average salary increase across all grades of Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) employees was 1.35%. Given the changes to the DE&S pay arrangements since this period, a more detailed breakdown of this increase would require significant manual analysis of historical records and, as such, an analysis by grade could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
