Public Sector: Pay
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what budget her Department has allocated to public sector pay rises for 2025-26 and 2026-27.
Answered by Darren Jones
Public Sector pay rises will be funded from Departmental Budgets across the Parliament – there is no centrally provided funding available for pay rises.
Departments have set out in their evidence to the Pay Review Bodies (PRBs) what is affordable for 2025-26 pay awards for their workforces. Departmental budgets for 2026-27 onwards are subject to the ongoing Spending Review.
