§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much his Department, its agencies and associated public bodies spent in total on extra bonuses above usual payments for staff working over the New Year period; what were the(a) maximum and (b) minimum bonuses paid; how many people received the (i) maximum and (ii) minimum payments; and if he will make a statement. [104500]
§ Mr. Chris SmithDCMS and Royal Parks Agency would have difficulty in identifying the actual amounts spent or the maximum and minimum payments made to staff working over the new year period from other overtime payments. The pay information for non-departmental public bodies is not held centrally. The information required could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Only a small number of DCMS and Royal Parks Agency staff were required to work over this period.
