Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how much the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority paid its staff in (a) performance-related payments and (b) other payments, allowances and benefits in addition to their core salary in each of the last four years; how many and what proportion of officials working for that body received such payments; and what the monetary value of the 20 largest such payments made in each such year was.
It is essential that the NDA can recruit and retain the best people necessary to carry out its mission to decommission and clean-up the nuclear legacy and in order to do so it has to offer competitive packages, including as appropriate performance bonuses and allowances. Remuneration is benchmarked against industry comparators and is set to recruit and retain high calibre staff, including with specialist skills. The Energy Act 2004 provides that the terms and conditions of the senior executives of the NDA are to be determined by the non-executives. Pay for NDA staff is covered by pay remits. There is no other formal role for the Government either in setting or approving salaries and bonuses
