"In February 2022 Jeremy Hunt was urged to offer higher pay rises to public sector workers to end strike deadlock, because government finances were better than expected. In January 2023 the government got a ÂŁ5.4bn surplus enabling Hunt to raise spending or cut taxes. The Office for National Statistics found this. Paul Nowak of the TUC stated this showed the government could break the deadlock on strikes. Nowak feared without what he considered "a fair pay settlement" staffing shortages harming schools, hospitals and other frontline services would worsen. Hunt maintained he would prioritise reducing debt. Hunt faces calls for bigger public sector pay rises after surprise budget surplus
The source states ""Jeremy Hunt is facing calls to offer a bigger pay rise to public sector workers to break months of strike deadlock, after official figures showed stronger than expected government finances. The government ran a surprise ÂŁ5.4bn surplus in January, fuelled by bumper self-assessment income tax receipts, handing the chancellor scope to increase spending or offer tax cuts at next monthâs budget. The surplus was ÂŁ5bn higher than the governmentâs fiscal watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility, had expected, although it was ÂŁ7.1bn smaller than in January 2022, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics. (...) Paul Nowak, the general secretary of the TUC, said the figures showed the government was ârunning out of excusesâ to break the deadlock on strikes. âJeremy Hunt must come out of hiding and help break the deadlock on public sector pay. After 13 years of pay cuts and pay freezes nurses, teachers and millions of other public servants are at breaking point,â he said. âIf ministers donât provide a fair pay settlement the staffing shortages crippling our schools, hospitals and other frontline services will just get worse.â (...) However, Hunt suggested he was in no mood for loosening the purse strings after an increase in the national debt. âWe are rightly spending billions now to support households and businesses with the impacts of rising prices â but with debt at the highest level since the 1960s, it is vital we stick to our plan to reduce debt over the medium-term,â he said."
