Police Pay

Asked if the Prime Minister had a message for the police officers marching through London today, the PMS said that as the Prime Minister and Home Secretary had said on numerous occasions, there was a huge amount of admiration for the work of the police within Government, but that we faced a difficult situation last year with inflation. This required difficult decisions to be taken across the public sector, not only with the police, in order to stage pay awards. As a result of that, inflation had come down and it enabled the Bank of England to reduce interest rates last year.

Asked to explain why civilian police workers had been given the full pay deal, the PMS replied that they were governed by the local authority pay settlement.
