The Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) Senior Leadership Group (SLG) structure was established in 2017 to reflect changes to DE&S pay arrangements since becoming a Bespoke Trading Entity. The number of substantive DE&S Civilian SLG personnel who were paid over £70,000 since 2017 is set out in the table below:

As at Date

Number of staff being paid over £70,000

1 April 2017

123

1 April 2018

112

1 April 2019

103

1 April 2020

115

1 April 2021

106

Notes:

  1. Pay is defined as salary, plus regular/fixed allowances.
  2. These figures do not include DE&S staff who were on temporary promotion into Senior Leadership Group roles.
  3. The decrease in figures from April 2017 to April 2018 is due to SLG members moving from DE&S on the formation of the Submarine Delivery Agency.

Military personnel are excluded from these figures as they are not employed directly by DE&S and are subject to the Armed Forces' Pay Review Body.
