Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent discussions he has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on bringing forward proposals to end the one per cent cap on pay rises for public sector workers.
Answered by Caroline Nokes
As the Chief Secretary to the Treasury said on 12 September, we are moving away from a 1% public sector average award. Pay awards will be informed by a range of factors, including recruitment and retention. The Pay Review Bodies will come forward with their proposals next year.
