(asked on 17th September 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to change the rules for public servants so that senior public officers who work during strikes do not get extra payments, as was the case with three senior officers of the South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service during strikes in 2014–15.

Pay policy for members of staff is the responsibility of individual fire and rescue authorities.
The Government is grateful to those members of staff who worked to ensure the safety of their communities during periods of strike action by members of the Fire Brigades Union.
