<p>In the last three financial years my Department paid officials the following amounts
for year-end and in-year bonuses:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>In-Year
Bonuses (£)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Year-End Bonuses (£)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p>22,100</p></td><td><p>35,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2013/14</strong></p></td><td><p>32,150</p></td><td><p>31,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2014/15</strong></p></td><td><p>22,710</p></td><td><p>25,600</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Non-consolidated
performance related pay is only paid to reward excellence, for example to recognise
and incentivise those responsible for delivering high quality public services and
savings to the taxpayer. These one-off payments are not pensionable. Since 2010-11,
the Government has restricted awards for senior civil servants to the top 25% of performers
(from 65% in previous years), saving around £15 million overall.</p>
