Civil Service: Pay Settlements

Asked by John GlenConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 29 April 2025UIN 45596

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the cost of the 2024-25 civil service pay settlements.

Answered by Darren Jones

Pay for civil servants outside of the Senior Civil Service is not set centrally; rather, departments and bodies have freedom to make decisions on pay within the parameters of the Pay Remit Guidance published annually by the Cabinet Office. The Pay Remit Guidance for 2024/5 can be found using the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-pay-remit-guidance-2024-to-2025/civil-service-pay-remit-guidance-2024-to-2025.
