Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Greg Hands, said:

皇冠体育app National Crime Agency does an excellent job protecting the public but with an increasingly turbulent global economy, pay restraint continues to be a key part of our plan to finish fixing the public finances.

皇冠体育app independent OBR estimates that 200,000 public sector jobs have been protected thanks to our average 1% pay policy, so we can continue to deliver crucial public services.

皇冠体育app independent pay review body has worked very hard to bring forward a balanced and affordable set of recommendations that delivers on our commitments to increase pay by an average of up to 1% across the workforces. 皇冠体育app government is grateful for their work and I am pleased that we are able to accept their recommendations in full.

皇冠体育app public sector pay bill makes up over half of departmental resource spending, so continued pay restraint remains central to the government鈥檚 deficit reduction strategy.
