The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what was the total value of non-contractual severance payments across the department in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Home Office does not publish details of the value of non-contractual severance payments separately.

However, the Home Office does publish overall special payments spending on a financial year basis and details of this can be found through the links below.
