Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nick Hurd and Andrew Bowie

Monday 3rd July 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hurd]

I thank and congratulate the hon. Lady on the contribution that she has made as a special constable. In relation to police pay, let me be very clear: we want to make sure that frontline public service workers, including the police, are paid fairly for their work, not least because of the contribution that they have made over the years to reducing the deficit that we inherited from Labour, and, in that context, the work they have done to safeguard hundreds of thousands of jobs. How we do that in a sustainable and affordable way is under active discussion.

[Andrew Bowie (West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine) (Con)]
