The Cabinet Office has a London pay scale which applies to staff in London and Basingstoke. The Cabinet Office has amalgamated pay bands for its grades below the Senior Civil Service and this is reflected in the reply below.

The Government is committed to improving female representation and tackling the gender pay gap in the Civil Service. From April 2017 we will be introducing new measures that require all organisations across the private, voluntary and public sector to regularly publish gender pay gap analysis and statistics, to bring greater transparency to pay disparities between men and women across the UK.
