No element of the Department's annual expenditure or revenue is uprated using any of the aforementioned indices. Pay increases are governed by Her Majesty's Treasury guidance, their approval and affordability. Staff salaries, for staff below the senior civil service, are increased annually in DCMS, but these are not uprated by any measure of inflation. Senior civil service salary costs are subject to review by the Senior Salaries Review Body. They do not apply inflation indices but do take them into account as part of the evidence they consider.
