Richard asks Treasury about productivity improvements to match public sector pay rises

Shortly before Parliament rose for recess, the Prime Minister announced a pay offer of at least 6% for millions of public sector workers. 

Richard Fuller MP said:

I asked the Chief Secretary to the Treasury to outline the next steps of the productivity review as my constituents will expect to see productivity improvements in return for these sizeable settlements.

In addition to answering this question, the Minister also highlighted the recent IMF report that every £25 billion of spending equates to an increase of 0.5% on the rate of inflation. His point was that Labour Party plans to spend £28 billion would be inflationary and the British public would recognise that.
