§ Mr. GillTo ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what recent assessment she has made of the effect of performance-related payments in Government Departments. [107470]
§ Mr. StringerThe Cabinet Office began a review of pay and grading delegation within the Civil Service in September 1998. The interim report was published in April 1999 and the findings contributed to the Report on Performance Management, published on 15 December, in support of Sir Richard Wilson's Report to the Prime Minister on Civil Service Reform. The Civil Service will now implement the reform programme and, in particular, the modernisation of its performance management and pay systems.
Copies of all these reports have been placed in the House of Commons Library.
