For example you can see male graduates in the 1st and 2nd earnings deciles have higher graduate premiums than those between the 3rd and 8th earnings deciles as they are less likely to repay all of their student loan and will pay proportionately less income tax, National Insurance and VAT.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 29/02/2016 17:14:41 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

uin	28339
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/02/2016 answer text <p>The average salary costs (incl. pension and National Insurance contributions) for an official in Sheffield is £46,698, whilst the average salary costs (incl. pension and National Insurance contributions) for an official in London is £58,910. This can largely be explained by the London-weighted salary differences and the differences in grade mix of staff in Sheffield and London. For example, almost 9% of London-based staff are SCS (costing around £18m in salaries), whilst only 2% of staff in Sheffield are SCS (costing around £0.5m in salaries).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 29/02/2016 17:12:24 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
