It does give personnel freedom to talk about their pay and conditions, whereas they could not do so before. That is a pretty good idea because that has been so absent in terms of hearing about something before it gets to a crisis, and we see the number of personnel who are walking away.
Some 60% of the budget relates to staff and allowances. Is money returned to the Exchequer when it relates to pay or can it be used to deal with something else?
