Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the merits of implementing a cap on public sector exit payments.

We are committed to ending six figure exit payments for public sector workers. We have legislated in the last parliament for a £95,000 cap and are currently in the process of drafting the necessary regulations to be laid in parliament.

To ensure the successful implementation of these changes, a consultation will be brought forward in the next few months.
