Question

To ask the hon. Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross representing the House of Commons Commission, how many officials employed by the House of Commons, 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.

678 staff in the House of Commons have remained at the same pay band since 2010 and received a pay rise. These pay increases varied depending on factors including where the person fell in the pay band and length of service. Increases fell within the following ranges:

• £73 – £8,388 in the A–E pay bands (520 people);
• £120 – £380 in the Catering Service (134), and
• £318 – £1,230 in the Senior Commons Structure (24).
