Question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the salaries of Cabinet Office staff based in no10 north are (a) London or (b) National pay ranges, and whether transferred staff from London keep their London range.
Answer
I refer the Hon Member to the answer of 5 November 2026 to Question 35476 .
Verdict: RED (12/100)
The reply only partly responds to the question. Its one statement refers the reader back to an earlier answer (Question 35476) rather than saying whether No10 North Cabinet Office salaries are paid on the London or National pay range, so the first point is at best indirectly addressed. The second point, whether Cabinet Office staff moving from London to No10 North keep the London pay range, is not addressed at all. A member of the public would need to check the referenced answer or submit a follow-up to get a direct response.
How we got there
| Question item | Coverage | Specificity | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whether the salaries of Cabinet Office staff based in No10 North are paid on the London pay range or the National pay range. | Partially Addressed | Generic | The only statement is a cross-reference to an earlier answer (Question 35476) and does not itself state whether No10 North Cabinet Office salaries are paid on the London or National pay range. It may be answered in the referenced reply, but nothing in this reply engages with the item directly. |
| Whether Cabinet Office staff transferred from London to No10 North keep the London pay range. | Not Addressed | Generic | The reply says nothing about whether Cabinet Office staff transferred from London to No10 North retain the London pay range, and the referral covers only the first item. |
