I am aware of the year we are in, thank you Minister. When we spoke this morning in the Chamber, the Minister envisaged a scenario where there might be a pay claim in advance of the April meeting.
The Government has created an expectation that there will be some move on pay in 2015 with all of its talk about recovery, the Minister's rhetoric around opening discussions with the public sector unions and so on. It will come as news to many public sector workers that whatever is discussed and agreed, there will be no movement in 2015.
