I refer to the numbers in the grade in receipt of more than one allowance. I added the numbers given for each grade and the total is 3,708, with people on eight allowances. It appears that the majority of staff are on an average of eight allowances. When the 2005 negotiations took place, many of them were part of core pay. A number of the allowances with published business cases, including the operational, additional hours and IPS on-call allowances, are non-pensionable.
