Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what the (a) mean and (b) median pay was for staff in his Department who were (i) male, (ii) female, (iii) white, (iv) from an ethnic minority background, (v) disabled and (vi) non-disabled in the most recent year for which information is available, broken down by (A) full-time and (B) part-time workers.

The Scotland Office does not employ staff directly. It is not possible to provide specific pay analysis broken down by representative groups. Many of the representative groups compromise fewer than 5 people, and individuals may become potentially identifiable.

The Office for National Statistics annually publish the highest and median salary for each Civil Service organisation, including the Scotland Office, as part of the Civil Service Statistics. This information can be found on the Office for National Statistics website:
