Government Transparency

Asked what timeframe the data published that morning on GPC card spending covered, the Prime Minister’s Spokesperson (PMS) explained that it covered April to August 2011. Asked to clarify who the Performance Related Pay figures covered, the PMS said that it covered all PRP for civil servants from all Departments for the last performance year, that is 2010/11. Asked about the timing of the data releases during the day, the PMS clarified that PRP figures had already been published but as each Department was publishing its own GPC card data this would be coming out during the course of the day, she also confirmed that this would include data from the MoD. Asked why data was only being published from April onwards, the PMS explained that this was just the first data being published and confirmed that there would be regular publications in the future. She also reminded the Lobby that this was a step forward for transparency as this data had not been published previously.
