Civil Servants: Pay
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what was the total salary cost of the civil service in each year between 2010 and 2024.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The Cabinet Office does not hold actual outturn salary cost information for all Civil Service departments and organisations since 2010.
However, estimated nominal Civil Service salary costs have previously been calculated for the years 2010 to 2024. These are provided in Table 1 below.
