answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2022 answer text Bullying, harassment, and discrimination of any kind, including racial discrimination, has no place whatsoever at HMRC. The wellbeing of all staff is a top priority, and HMRC does not tolerate any behaviour that makes staff, or taxpayers, feel uncomfortable. HMRC has policies which cover what action individuals can take if they experience discrimination within the workplace, and has developed comprehensive guidance on how to raise a concern. All concerns are investigated in accordance with the Civil Service investigation standards. HMRC has introduced a number of services to ensure staff can speak up if they see, hear, or experience anything that gives them a cause for concern. It has also introduced steps to ensure that complaints are investigated impartially with the decision taken by an independent decision manager with full support from expert HR advisers.<p><strong><br> </strong></p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 28/10/2022 12:40:03 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2022 answer text <p>HMRC are unable to answer the question on the average level of experience of a Grade 7 (G7) HMRC Officer. There are several thousand G7 officers in HMRC each of whom have their own unique career history. In total, the group covers over 27 professions and a significant number of different role types. Each individual will retain their own career history, including experience and qualifications which will be discussed with their manager. In view of the significant variances in experience and roles, no central record is retained.</p><p> </p><p>For similar reasons, HMRC are unable to answer the question on whether a trainee would be ranked as a G7 as in some roles and professions it would and others not. It can take anywhere from 3 years for fast-track training roles or up to 20 years plus for average career progression from junior entry grade.</p><p> </p><p>Below is a table showing both the National and London pay ranges for a HMRC G7:</p><p> </p><p><strong>2022 Grade 7 Pay Ranges - 01 June 2022</strong></p><table><thead><tr><td><p><strong>Grade</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>National</strong><strong><br> </strong><strong>Minimum</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>National</strong><strong><br> </strong><strong>Maximum</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>London</strong><strong><br> </strong><strong>Minimum</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>London</strong><strong><br> </strong><strong>Maximum</strong></p></td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Grade 7 (7)</strong></p></td><td><p>£52,598</p></td><td><p>£59,294</p></td><td><p>£59,182</p></td><td><p>£66,712</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 28/10/2022 11:59:10 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
