Keith Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what criteria a civil servant in his Department needs to fulfil (a) to be considered for a bonus on top of their regular salary and (b) to be awarded a bonus. [101122]

Jim Fitzpatrick: The DTI currently operates the two bonus schemes. One is for special Bonuses. The other is performance related and is dependent upon the achievement of objectives.

Special Bonus

Special bonuses are a means of rewarding staff in any posts who have performed exceptionally well in particularly demanding tasks or situations. All staff are eligible for consideration for the award of a special bonus and these can be used to reward either individuals or teams. Responsibility for authorising an award lies with the relevant Director General or Chief Executive.

Performance-Related Bonus

At the end of the reporting year each member of staff’s performance is assessed against the objectives agreed at the start of the reporting period. It is the responsibility of the Line Manager in consultation with their Manager to assess the individual’s performance using guidance. Standard setting meetings are held to ensure there is a common understanding of the standards of performance expected from individuals in each range. A combination of achievements against objectives and personal effectiveness is taken into consideration when assessing performance. All staff are eligible to be considered for a bonus but these are only awarded to staff who have fully met expectations, exceeded some objectives and/ or consistently performed well above expectation.

Burma (Exports)

John Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the British exports to Burma were in each of the past five years; and what the value of the exports was in each year. [102491]

Mr. McCartney: The Government have a long-standing policy of not encouraging British firms to trade with or invest in Burma. We offer no commercial services to companies wishing to trade with or invest in Burma. British companies who inquire about trade with Burma are informed of the grave political situation, the regime’s atrocious record on human rights and the country’s dire economic prospects.
