Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Pat McFadden and Luke Murphy

Thursday 25th July 2024 Commons Chamber

[Pat McFadden]

On the specific issue of pay that he has raised, as I said to my hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend (Mary Glindon), the Government will have more to say on civil service pay before the summer recess.

[Luke Murphy (Basingstoke) (Lab)]
