GCHQ has confirmed that it awards bonuses to its IT security experts in a bid to stop staff leaving for large technology companies such as Google.
According to the jobs section of the GCHQ website, a cyber security specialist can earn a salary of between £25,446 and £31,152.
Although the UK communications spying centre declined to comment on the individual amounts that had been awarded, a spokesperson said that reports of "tens of thousands of pounds" bonuses were "an exaggeration".
"Retention payments are made to individuals because of their specialist skills," the GCHQ spokesperson said.
"These systems of payments have been authorised by the appropriate government authorities."
