<p>37 Officials in my department have remained at the same grade since 2010, broken
down by grade as follows:</p><p> </p><p>SCS = 2, A = 4, B = 3, C = 7, D = 10, E =
8, F = 3.</p><p> </p><p>Home Civil Servants in Bands A-F in my department follow MOJ
terms and conditions, including pay. Accordingly NIO staff at these grades were subject
to a 3 year pay freeze until August 2013 when a 1% pay rise was awarded in line with
the Government’s directive on public sector pay.</p><p> </p><p>Staff at grades A-F
who were rated as outstanding in their annual performance report for 2013 received
a 2% pay rise. Given the small numbers who received an outstanding marking, it would
not be appropriate to provide any further breakdown as to do so could risk the identification
of the individuals concerned.</p><p> </p><p>Pay for SCS members of staff is regulated
by the Senior Salaries Review Board. Neither of the two SCS in my department, who
have been here since 2010, has had a pay rise.</p><p> </p><p>This response does not
cover Northern Ireland Civil Servants seconded to the NIO from NI departments as they
remain on terms and conditions of their home department, including pay.</p>
