Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what the (a) highest and (b) lowest full-time equivalent salary paid by his Department was in (i) 2010-11, (ii) 2011-12, (iii) 2012-13, (iv) 2013-14 and (v) 2014-15; and if he will make a statement.
The Scotland Office does not employ staff directly. All staff join on a secondment type basis from other Government bodies, principally the Scottish Government and Ministry of Justice, which remain the employers. As such there are variations in pay costs within the administration grades. The information requested is shown below:
£ | (i) 2010-11 | (ii) 2011-12 | (iii) 2012-13 | (iv) 2013-14 |
(a) highest | 84,102.96 | 84,102.96 | £119,657.04 | £119,657.04 |
(b) lowest | 17,496.96 | 17,882.04 | £18,301.16 | £18,000.61 |
(v) 2014-15
Not all bodies have set their pay levels for 2014-15 so full-time equivalent salary information cannot be provided.
