To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what (a) bonuses and (b) incentives have been paid to (i) consultants and (ii) contractors engaged by his Department in each of the last three years. (300657)

The Home Department does not have any direct employer-employee relationships with individual consultants or contractors.

The Department engages consultants and contractors through suppliers on consultancy and contractor assignments. We do not, therefore, pay the salaries, nor any incentives or bonuses for these individuals.
