Police Pay

Asked if the Prime Minister was delighted by the High Court’s Judgements on police pay, the PMS replied that the Home Secretary had already commented on this, and she spoke on behalf of the Government. Obviously the Prime Minister was very mindful of the excellent work that the police do in protecting the public, but we had had to take difficult decisions in relation to public sector pay across a number of sectors and because of that we had been able to keep inflation lower that it might have otherwise have been.

Asked if the Prime Minister was concerned about sending a message to other people governed by pay review boards that these reviews boards could be overturned by the government at any time, the PMS replied that ultimately it was for the Government to make decisions, and sometimes the Government had to make difficult decisions as had been the case in relation to public sector pay in recent years.
