<p>As part of the Government’s commitment to transparency, departments have published
aggregated annual information on their bonus spend on their own websites since 2011.
This promotes scrutiny of how taxpayers’ money is spent. The latest data, which covers
the performance years 2019/20 and 2020/21, was published on Government Departments’
websites on 31 March 2022. This data includes information on total bonus spend, the
number of civil servants receiving bonuses, and the size of payments.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>Regarding the second question: executive agencies publish individualised
data on payments received by their Board-level members in their Annual Accounts. This
includes data on which executives receive bonuses, and the size of any payments. Since
2010, the Government has made bonuses across the Civil Service more tightly focussed
on top performance; current spend on them is around 1 percent of the total Civil Service
paybill.</p><p> </p>
