Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, what the total pay bill was for (a) male and (b) female employees in the Law Officers' Departments in 2015-16; and what the per capita spend from that pay bill for each man and woman was in that year.
Total paybill for men and women in 2015/16 for the Law Officer’s Departments is as follows:
2015/16 | Men | Women | Total |
Attorney General’s Office (AGO) | £886,880 | £915,959 | £1,802,839 |
Government Legal Department (GLD) | £34,495,709 | £47,247,217 | £81,742,926 |
Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) | £901,144 | £663,854 | £1,564,998 |
Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) | £93,856,000 | £151,612,000 | £245,468,000 |
Serious Fraud Office (SFO) | £9,770,000 | £7,163,000 | £16,933,000 |
The per capita spend for each man and woman is as follows, based on the total full-time equivalent number of men and women averaged out over the year.
2015/16 | Men | Women |
AGO | £58,463 | £46,900 |
GLD | £51,222 | £46,316 |
HMCPSI | £61,302 | £40,504 |
CPS | £41,200 | £35,200 |
SFO | £44,008 | £39,578 |
Pay bill figures for men and women in each department can vary significantly based on representation at different grades and how many staff in the department are in full or part time work. A more meaningful way of considering existing pay disparities amongst men and women would be to look at each department’s gender pay gap. The Civil Service has been publishing mean and median gender pay gaps for each department since 2008 as part of the annual release of Civil Service Statistics by the Office for National Statistics. The latest gender pay gap data (published in October earlier this year) can be found on the Office for National Statistics website.
