	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2021 answer text It is important that all public sector exit payments are fair and proportionate to employers, employees and taxpayers. Special Severance Payments are no exception to this, and we expect these payments to be used in only in agreed exceptional circumstances. To this aim, HMT published updated guidance on Special Severance Payments on May 27<sup>th</sup> 2021 which supplemented the guidance already outlined in Managing Public Money. This guidance introduced new HMT powers to sanction departments for non-compliance and new annual reporting requirements for Special Severance Payments. As this guidance is newly implemented, we have not yet seen any breaches and therefore have not sanctioned any Department. In future, we will have real time data on breaches and sanctions, payments made with a value higher than £100,000 and payments made to employees earning over £150,000. We also expect the annual transparency reporting, which takes place later this year, to provide us with a Departmental overview of the value of Special Severance payments made every year. answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Steve Barclay grouped question UIN 27076 27077 27078 27079 27080 27081 27082 question first answered 13/07/2021 11:03:40 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
