Proceeding contribution from Rishi Sunak (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 November 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Spending Review 2020 and OBR Forecast.
Spending Review 2020 and OBR Forecast
I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for welcoming the £900 million in Barnett funding for Northern Ireland. He will be pleased to know that we have had productive conversations about fixing some technical baseline issues for the budgeting as well, which I know will be welcomed by the Executive.
With regard to pay, we are protecting those who earn less than the UK median salary. Whichever part of the public sector they work in, if someone earns less than £24,000, they will receive the £250. It is the right approach to provide that support to those with lower-than-average earnings.
