The Government takes the enforcement of National Minimum Wage very seriously. Any worker who believes that they are being paid below the minimum wage should make a complaint to the Pay & Work Rights Helpline (PWRH) on 0800 917 2368.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) review every complaint referred to them by the PWRH and, in addition, collate and analyse data from various sources to identify employers more likely not to be paying National Minimum Wage and undertake targeted enforcement against those employers.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

HMRC does not capture complaints or the outcomes of its investigations by reference to Government regions, constituencies or county.

Since January 2010 eight departing DCLG employees have signed compromise agreements.

None of these cases concerned an issue of "Whistle blowing" and none sought in any way to restrict the rights of an individual to make public interest disclosure under The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998.

None of these staff were forced to enter into these agreements and all received legal advice before they agreed to settlement.

The Royal Military Police continue to investigate Katrice Lee's disappearance from Paderborn in Germany in 1981. Over 11,500 documents have been registered onto the Home Office Large Major Enquiry System. Each of these documents is being reviewed, and over 2,000 investigative actions have so far been generated and followed up. The Royal Military Police are working hard to eliminate persons of interest. As the investigation is still under way, I cannot comment any further on precise details, including when it might be completed. However, Royal Military Police Liaison Officers remain in contact with Katrice's family to ensure that they are kept fully informed of developments.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3938", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anna Soubry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxtowe"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anna Soubry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-02-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-09T17:44:40.357Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-01-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Katrice Lee"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress the Royal Military Police have made in respect of Operation BUTE; and on what date he expects that investigation to conclude.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4008", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gosport"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Caroline Dinenage"} ], "uin" : "222788"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/176890", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Energy and Climate Change"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/176890/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

It is essential that the NDA can recruit and retain the best people necessary to carry out its mission to decommission and clean-up the nuclear legacy and in order to do so it has to offer competitive packages, including as appropriate performance bonuses and allowances. Remuneration is benchmarked against industry comparators and is set to recruit and retain high calibre staff, including with specialist skills. The Energy Act 2004 provides that the terms and conditions of the senior executives of the NDA are to be determined by the non-executives. Pay for NDA staff is covered by pay remits. There is no other formal role for the Government either in setting or approving salaries and bonuses<\/p>

Details of the how much the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority paid its staff in (a) performance-related payments and (b) other payments, allowances and benefits in addition to their core salary in each of the last four years, together with the number and proportion of staff receiving such payments, and the monetary value of the 20 largest payments, is set out in the following tables:<\/p>

Funded grant-in-aid activities relate to DECC\u2019s contribution to Civil Nuclear Police Authority(CNPA)/Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) capital expenditure requirements plus CNPA/CNC costs which cannot be recharged to industry under s.60 of the Energy Act 2004 as \u2018provision of services\u2019 to site licence companies. As such, they relate to costs such as early retirement/redundancy payments and awards from employment tribunals.<\/p>

CNPA and CNC operational costs are recovered from nuclear site licence companies responsible for those sites where CNC officers are based and domestic or international customers of their armed escorting services for transports of nuclear materials by International Nuclear Services (INS) \u2013 a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). The CNPA and CNC is therefore funded by a range of public and private sector bodies. CNPA/CNC budgets for the past five years were £56.5m in 2009/10, £61.4m in 2010/11, £73.5m in 2011/12, £81.6m in 2012/13 and £87.8m in 2013/14. In broad terms, this equates to a two-thirds public sector, one-third private sector bodies (customers) split.<\/p>

<\/p>

In 2013/14 the organisations that paid for the services of CNPA/CNC services were, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, international customers of International Nuclear Services Ltd, EDF Energy, Springfields Fuels Ltd and Urenco UK Ltd.<\/p>
