The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to introduce capability-based pay in the civil service.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The government believes pay and reward structures should incentivise expertise and high performance. The Cabinet Office is reviewing capability-based pay arrangements that already exist in the Civil Service to analyse their impact on organisations that have implemented such arrangements already.
