Public Sector: Pay

Asked by Alison BennettLiberal DemocratTreasuryTabled Answered 20 October 2025UIN 80589

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when her Department plans to (a) conclude its review of salary sacrifice schemes in the public sector and (b) make decisions on their future.

Answered by James Murray

Public sector employers should consider the use of salary sacrifice schemes carefully. HM Treasury approval is generally required before new schemes are established, and we will consider carefully all requests which are made for scheme expansion.
