Dear Sir or Madam,

Please could you let me have a breakdown of the salary increases
and bonuses paid to staff at World Service News and Current Affairs
this year?

Please let me have separate figures for salary bands 7,8,9 and 10
and above,showing: 1) How many people at each level received a
bonus? 2) How many people at each level received an above average
salary increase? 3) How many people at each level received both a
bonus and an above average salary increase.

Please could you also let me know the total amount of bonus money
awarded for each salary grade, and the highest bonus paid at each
grade?

Many thanks for your help.

Yours faithfully,

J Hodges
