(asked on 23rd November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the difference has been between the salary of his Department's highest paid director and the median salary of all staff in his Department in each year since 2010.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) was created on 14 July 2016. The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) were merged to create this new department. The information requested from 2010 has therefore been broken down in to the tables below by each department.
The median salaries in the tables below are published on the Office for National Statistics website every October.
Salaries of highest paid senior employees are published in annual reports in bands of £5,000. Please note that as Permanent Secretaries and Director Generals are generally paid higher salaries than Directors in the civil service, the figures below reflect the highest paid employees, and not the highest paid staff in the Director grade.
