To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans she has for the implementation of the outcomes of the police pay and conditions arbitration process; and if she will make a statement. (225267)

My right hon. Friend the Home Secretary will consider any recommendation of the Police Arbitration Tribunal very carefully. In doing so she will take account of the tribunal's findings and reasoning, and relevant factors including affordability and Government policy on public sector pay, including the maintenance of low inflation.
