UK Government Organogram: Staff Roles and Senior Civil Servant Salaries

UK central government departments and agencies publish organogram data showing staff roles. Names and salaries are listed for Senior Civil Servants. The data is released twice yearly, with snapshots for March 31st and September 30th published by June 6th and December 6th, and has been published since 2010. The Tenant Services Authority provides this data in CSV format under the OGL-UK-3.0 license.
