in line with the guidance in <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/742188/Managing_Public_Money__MPM__2018.pdf"
target="_blank">Managing Public Money</a>. Individual payments of more than the threshold
required under Managing Public Money would be noted separately. Any compensation paid
in respect of litigation would be determined with reference to legal advice.</p><p>
</p><p>In line with previous responses, the Northern Ireland Office will keep its
obligations under review to ensure its requirements under fair employment legislation
are met.</p><p> </p><p>As I answered previously, information on employees’ personal
data is sensitive, in order to comply with DPA requirements, and so I am unable to
comment further.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Images displayed in Stormont House
are refreshed at regular intervals. Current images displayed reflect the culture and
landscapes of Northern Ireland. These are in keeping with the rest of the building
decor. We have no plans to review this policy.</p><p> </p><p>Royal portraits hang
on public display at Hillsborough Castle, and also in the London Office occupied by
the Northern Ireland Office. Other pictures of the Queen are displayed at Stormont
House.</p>
