uin	901383
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2017 answer text <p>In line with their duties under equalities legislation, Ministers fully consider equalities impacts and implications when setting the Government’s pay policy. It is for Departments to consider the equalities impacts of their proposals on workforce strategy and pay. The remit of the Pay Review Bodies continues to be to provide evidence based advice on pay. We will consider their recommendations when they report from Spring 2018. Our assessment of public sector pay shows that wages in the public sector are roughly equivalent to those in the private sector, and, in addition, public sector workers benefit from more generous pensions.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 24/10/2017 13:57:49 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
