I wish to inform the Deputy that the calculation of increments is a matter for the Payroll Shared Service Centre, who have informed me that because of the variables involved i.e. payees starting and leaving, staff moving on/off sick pay, staff changing worksharing patterns, etc. it is virtually impossible to provide an answer to this Parliamentary Question.

However my Officials are calculating figures based on an average of an increment per grade and the number of increments paid each year in my Department. Information in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department are also being sought. I will revert to the Deputy directly as soon as the data is available.
