Question

To ask the Ministers for Women and Equalities, how many officials employed by the Government Equalities Office, of each grade, have remained at that grade since 2010 but received a pay rise; and how much of a rise each such person at each such grade has received.

The Government Equalities Office joined DCMS in September 2012. The Department’s database management system does not record this information in a way that can extract the information asked for. To identify this information for each employee would incur disproportionate cost. Pay awards for civil service departments are limited to an average of up to one percent of overall paybill costs.
