The annual pay arrangements for the senior civil service are based on the outcomes of the Senior Salaries Review Body Report and the Government’s response to its recommendations.

During the three years, the Department implemented pay awards for each group of staff as follows:</p><p> </p><p>Awards for delegated grades for each of the three years were based on 1% of the median salary in each pay grade. This had the effect of applying a slightly higher pay award to those whose salary was below the median compared to those whose salary was above the median, of their respective grade. Overall, an average award of 1% was applied to this group of staff, in each year.</p><p> </p><p>For each of the three years, pay awards for senior civil servants were based on an individual’s position in range, with the establishment of break points in each pay band. A higher award was applied to those whose salary was below the respective break point of their pay band. For years 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 a lower award was applied to those whose salary exceeded the break point. For 2017/2018 no award was applied to those whose salary exceeded the respective break point.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>The Government expects the restriction to tax relief for finance costs for individual residential landlords to have a minimal impact on house building in the UK. Overall, the OBR believes the impact on the housing market will be small and, taking account of the other measures in the Summer Budget, have not adjusted their forecast for house prices. The Productivity Plan published alongside the Summer Budget includes a number of measures to make the planning system quicker, cheaper and more responsive to local housing needs.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>HM Treasury expects a minimal impact on the supply of property in the private rented sector in the UK. The measure is expected to impact fewer than 1 in 5 landlords and will be introduced gradually from April 2017 over 4 years to give landlords time to adjust. The Budget also announced increased Rent a Room relief, which can help to increase levels of private rented accommodation. The Government is taking significant steps to support housing supply with housing starts now at a 7 year high.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Consumer buy-to-let mortgages will become regulated in March 2016 as part of the implementation of the EU Mortgage Credit Directive. However, independently verified government analysis suggests that approximately 86% of the market will remain unregulated, and that the costs imposed by this change are not of a sufficient scale to affect the supply of rental properties in the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 16/09/2015 15:37:20 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
