Details of the annualised salary costs of my private and constituency offices and those of the Ministers of State in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in September 2011 and September 2012 are set out in the following tables. The variations arose due to the payment of salary scale increments or because of approved minor adjustments in staffing levels.
