Civil Servants: Pay

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 3 September 2025UIN 70465

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the average annual value of London weighting for civil servants in his Department was in the latest period for which data is available.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Cabinet Office does not have a London Weighting Allowance. There are separate London and National pay ranges. An individual’s pay, paid as a salary, is determined by the location of their designated office, as set out in their contract.
