Public Sector Pay 13. Mr. Mackinlay To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the Government's intentions for public sector pay for 1993–94. Mr. Portillo As announced in the last autumn statement, public sector pay restraint, which limits all settlement within the range zero to 1·5 per cent., will be applied for one year. There can be no catching-up settlements following that. Public sector pay is an important part of public expenditure and will obviously have to be kept under tight control.
