The table below shows the highest and lowest full-time equivalent salaries paid by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) in bands of £5,000 between 2010 and 2014.

	Lowest full-time equivalent salary	Highest full-time equivalent salary
2010-11	10,000 – 15,000	220,000 – 225,000
2011-12	15,000 – 20,000	200,000 – 205,000
2012-13	15,000 – 20,000	185,000 – 190,000
2013-14	15,000 – 20,000	170,000 – 175,000

As we have not competed the financial year 2014-15 we are unable to provide figures for that period at this time.

This information is not held by BIS in respect of non-Departmental Public Bodies.
