Senior Civil Servants: Pay

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 6 November 2024UIN 11723

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many civil servants earn (a) over £100,000 and (b) more than the Prime Minister.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Civil Service Statistics (Table 35) provides information on the number of civil servants earning over £100,000 and in other bandings. The latest information can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-service-statistics-2024

The previous administration did not publish a 2023 list. The Cabinet Office will publish this in due course following the usual process.
