Defence written question – answered at on 25 February 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the (a) average cost per member of staff and (b) total cost was of overtime payments in (i) his Department and (ii) each of its arm's length bodies in (A) 2010-11, (B) 2011-12 and (C) 2012-13 to date.
The number of staff being paid overtime in the Department is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. It is therefore not possible to provide an average cost per member of staff who claimed overtime payments.
The total overtime costs for the years in question are set out in the following table, including the forecast for 2012-13. The figures include overtime payments made to MOD Police and the Defence Fire Service, as well as civilian industrial and non-industrial staff and civilian staff engaged locally overseas.

2010-11 | 68.4 |
2011-12 | 65.4 |
