Police: Conditions of Employment

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessmentof the potential merits of introducing (a) a formal right of appeal and (b) binding arbitration for police officers in relation to pay and conditions decisions.

Answer

The Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB) and Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) make recommendations to the Government on the appropriate level of pay and allowances for police officers.

The pay review bodies gather and invite parties to submit evidence to inform their decisions. This includes both written and oral evidence from the Government, police employers and police staff associations. They weigh the evidence, consider independent research, and formulate detailed recommendations.

We are committed to the Pay Review Body process and the Government appreciates and values the independent, expert advice and contribution that the pay review bodies make.
