Public Sector: Pay

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the announcement by the Prime Minister on 13 July regarding increases to public sector pay, what are the Barnett consequentials for devolved nations of the UK as a result of that announcement.

Answer

The Government is accepting the headline pay recommendations of the independent Pay Review Bodies in full for 2023/24. This will be funded from within existing department budgets through a combination of greater efficiency and reprioritisation.

It is for the devolved administrations to allocate their funding in devolved areas.

A full breakdown of changes to devolved administrations’ block grants, including Barnett consequentials, is set out in the published Block Grant Transparency document.
