The data is in presented (tables 1 and 2) by grade bands rather than by the requested salary bands. They provide average age, gender and ethnicity information. To provide the information by salary bands would incur a disproportionate cost due to the way the databases are organised.
The Home Office Headquarters (HOHQ) and the United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA) do not centrally record the title and role of each employee; to provide this information would incur a disproportionate cost.
Bonuses1
Bonuses are funded from the existing pay bill. As part of the annual salary award, non-consolidated (cash) bonuses may be awarded to staff below SCS who have demonstrated exceptional performance. Special bonuses may also be awarded to recognise outstanding achievements.
Bonus arrangements for the SCS are set out in the Senior Salaries Review Body report which can be found at:

1 Applies to UK Border Agency and Home Office Headquarters.
Retirement provision
Those eligible for a retirement provision are covered by the terms of the Principle Civil Service Scheme. This scheme is administered by the Civil Service Pensions Division of the Cabinet Office. The following link may be useful:

Reimbursement of expenses incurred in the course of official work Permanent Home Office staff and others (such as contractors (when specified in their contract) who are employed by the Home Office) are entitled to reimbursement for expenses that are necessarily incurred in the course of their duties including, for example travel and accommodation. When no extra expense is incurred, no reimbursement is due.
HO HQ and UKBA are unable to provide expenses paid to staff in civil service salary bands only, without incurring disproportionate cost.
