Written Question
Public Sector: Pay
Tuesday 1st August 2017

Asked by: Lord MacKenzie of Culkein (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the HM Treasury:

Her Majesty's Government whether, following their announcement that the future of public sector pay will be considered as and when pay review bodies report, they will allow those bodies to make independent evidence-based recommendations.

Answered by Lord Bates

The Government will continue to consider the independent evidence-based recommendations of the Independent Pay Review Bodies, which make their recommendations on the annual pay awards for the relevant public sector workforces after considering the evidence on affordability and workforce pressures including recruitment and retention.
