Question

To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, whether the Commission plans to remove the public sector pay cap of one per cent in its next round of pay negotiations; and if he will make a statement.

The House of Commons (Administration) Act 1978 includes the requirement to remain ‘broadly in line’ with the terms and conditions of the Home Civil Service. The House of Commons Commission has yet to take a decision on a pay remit for 2018/19.
