Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 March 2007. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget resolutions.


AMENDMENT OF THE LAW

We applaud the work that nurses do, but does my right hon. Friend agree that they have been met with a gross insult from the Government with the staggered pay increase that they have been given this year? When those increases are grouped together, they total 1.9 per cent. When inflation is running just below 5 per cent. that means that nurses will take a pay cut of more than £500 in any given year.
