Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, how many officials in his Department completed the Civil Service Employment Policy Performance Management System in 2013-14; how many and what proportion of those officials received the (a) exceeded, (b) met and (c) must improve performance mark; and how many and what proportion (i) did and (ii) did not qualify for a bonus under that process.

All staff in the Wales Office including agency staff who had been in post for longer than a month participated in the completion of the Civil Service Employment Performance System in 2013-14. Of these (a) 14% received exceeded (b) 78% received met and (c) 8% received must improve performance marks; (i) 5% did and (ii) 95% did not qualify for a bonus.

As some of the data relates to fewer than five staff, breaking the numbers down would risk the identification of individuals and so only percentages are provided.
