(3)          That the following motion, as amended, be adopted:

Public Sector Pay Cap

This council notes that by restraining the remit of the pay review bodies to a maximum uplift of no more than one percent there has been an impact on public sector staff including nurses, teachers, firefighters, police officers, the armed forces and the civil service. This has affected morale, recruitment and retention at a time when demand for services is on the increase. This council thus calls on the government to move to a more flexible position on public sector pay.
