The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to provide additional support to devolved governments for public sector pay costs.

Answered by James Murray

Public sector pay is a devolved responsibility. This means it is for the devolved governments to decide how to allocate the funding they receive across their areas of responsibility, including public sector pay.
