Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits for lower-paid public sector workers of (a) introducing a real time payment model for salaries and (b) offering weekly rather than monthly payment frequencies for salaries.

Although HM Treasury sets the direction of public sector pay policy centrally, it is not responsible for deciding what payment model public sector workers are paid by. Individual public sector employers are responsible for assessing the needs of their workforce and administering a payment system.
