answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2018 answer text According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the level of total average weekly earnings has been growing steadily since January 2017, between March and May 2018 it increased from £515 to £517. Total real pay growth was 0.1% in the three months to May. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) expect average earnings to grow faster than inflation in every year of the forecast.<p> </p><p>The employment rate is currently at a record high and the Government is taking action to support wages. Supported by the introduction of the National Living Wage, the lowest paid have seen their wages grow by 7% above inflation between April 2015 and April 2017.</p><p> </p><p>Boosting productivity is the only way to achieve sustained wage growth and higher living standards. That’s why in the Autumn Budget, the Chancellor announced that the National Productivity Investment Fund, introduced in 2016 to invest in housing, R&amp;D and infrastructure, would be extended and increased from £23bn to £31bn.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 26/07/2018 12:39:15 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2018 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has announced that the National Health Service budget will grow by over £20 billion a year in real terms by 2023-24. It is now up to NHS leaders to produce a new ten-year plan, led by clinicians, professionals and supported by local health and care systems across the country. The final settlement will be confirmed at a future fiscal event, subject to a plan that delivers the efficiency, productivity, and performance improvements necessary to address the long-term cost pressures highlighted by the Office for Budget Responsibility.</p><p> </p><p>As the Prime Minister set out, some of this funding will be paid for by us no longer having to send annual membership subscriptions to the European Union after we have left. The commitment the Government is making goes beyond this, and so the Prime Minister has been clear that taxpayers will have to make a greater contribution, in a fair and balanced way. The Government will listen to views about how we do this and the Chancellor will set out the details in due course.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 24/07/2018 15:17:34 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
