Compensation pay outs for financial years 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.22.023358

I note you seek access to the following information:

I'm hoping you can assist me with this request for information about compensation pay outs from 2018 to and including 2021.

For each of the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021:

How much money (in GBP/£) did MPS pay out in compensation? It would be helpful if the information could be broken down by 'types of claim' and 'no.of cases settled' as well as the 'settlement total.'

I'm hoping the data will be easily accessible and if so if I might have the data as soon as it is retrieved. I have found details of pay outs from 2016-2018 on your website so I am seeking to update this information with the most recent figures.

Please find below statistics for financial years 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21.
