Public sector pay rises are to be capped at 1 per cent for a further year, in a move which unions claim will leave family budgets "at breaking point". George Osborne said that salaries of NHS staff, council workers and civil servants will remain at below inflation levels until at least 2016.
The Chancellor also announced plans to seek "significant" savings through reforming the system of annual rises through pay progression in the public sector. He said such automatic pay rises were difficult to justify given that millions of private sector workers had seen their wages frozen or cut.
