	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2021 answer text <p>The temporary pay pause announced at SR20 was a difficult but necessary step in the face of huge uncertainty and the unprecedented impact COVID-19 had on the economy. This helped protect jobs at a time of crisis and ensure fairness between the private and public sectors. The private sector saw suppressed earnings growth and increased redundancies: employment fell by 2.9% between Q1 2020 and Q1 2021, while over the same period employment in the public sector rose by 3%. 11.6m jobs, from 1.3m different employers, were furloughed. Public sector average weekly earnings rose by 4.5% in 2020/21 whilst private sector wage increases were a third lower than they were pre-crisis, at only 1.8%.</p><p> </p><p>The solid recovery in the economy and labour market has meant that the government have been able to confirm at the Spending Review that public sector workers will see pay rises across the whole SR period (2022/23-2024/25).</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 28/10/2021 13:12:46 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2021 answer text <p>Pay for most frontline workforces – including nurses, police officers, prison officers and teachers is set through an independent Pay Review Body process. The independent review bodies provide evidence-based advice to the government on levels of pay for their remit groups. In making recommendations, review bodies need to consider both the need to recruit, retain and motivate suitably able and qualified people and the financial circumstances of the government. We will be seeking full recommendations and the award for 2022/23 will be announced next year.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 28/10/2021 13:09:41 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke
