Rishi Sunak agrees to public sector pay rises of 6% plus without raising budgets

Police, junior doctors and teachers in England will get more money, but departments may have to find service cuts to pay it

Millions of public sector workers will be given a pay rise of at least 6%, but government departments have been told to fund the rise from within existing budgets.

Police officers, junior doctors and teachers in England are among those who would benefit after the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, accepted all the recommendations of the independent pay review bodies.
