The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what was the total value of non-contractual severance payments across the civil service establishment in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Answered by James Murray

All government departments are required to disclose information on exit payments in their Annual Reports and Accounts, in line with the Government Financial Reporting Manual.
