Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 6 December 2022 to Question 97498 on Treasury: Incentives, what the total value was of non-cash vouchers awarded to staff working for (a) his core Department and (b) HMRC as performance-related bonuses in 2022-23.

Bonuses paid out as non-cash vouchers is a standard practice across Government. Attracting, retaining and motivating highly skilled individuals is essential for the Civil Service to deliver for the British people. This is why pay must be fair and competitive as well as affordable to the taxpayer. Performance-related bonuses and vouchers are a key part of this.
