Police pay

Asked if the Winsor Review proposed the types of changes the Prime Minister wanted to see, the PMS replied that the Home Secretary had said that she would look at the report and there would need to be a period of negotiation. The PMS said we would not be setting out precisely what the pay policy should be today, but as we had made clear, pay accounted for three quarters of the cost of the police and therefore it was something we needed to look at.

Put that the message from today seemed to be that the police were no different from any other public sector workers and did the Government therefore expect them to be marching against Government cuts, the PMS said that he did not think that was the message of today; we needed to look everywhere and right across Government when considering how to tackle the deficit.

Asked if it was the wrong time to be putting such plans in place, the PMS replied that there was a large deficit and we needed to see where we could save money.
