Table 1 shows the average hourly pay of civil servants in the Home Office as of 28th February 2015 by ethnicity.

Other than at Senior Civil Servant (SCS) level the Home Office have different pay scales for London and National at all grades. 78.2 % of the staff below SCS declaring themselves Black and Minority Ethnic are based in London compared with 33.2 % of staff below SCS declaring themselves White. This explains why (apart from SCS staff) the hourly rate for BME staff is higher than for white staff.
