John Manzoni and Sir Jeremy Heywood did not get a pay rise in 2016, in common with the bulk of senior civil service staff, newly-published transparency data on Whitehall’s “high earners” reveals.
The snapshot of officials in departments, agencies and non-departmental public bodies with earnings of £150,000 a year and above, shows neither Heywood nor Manzoni saw an increase in their pay ceiling in the year to September 30.
Heywood, who is cabinet secretary and civil service head, was described as having a pay floor of £195,000 and a pay ceiling of £199,999, unchanged from last year - although he did receive an increase that was reflected in the 2015's figures.
Civil service chief executive and Cabinet Office perm sec Manzoni’s pay floor was £230,000-£234,999, also unchanged from last year.
