As an arm's-length body of the Ministry of Defence, AWE plc (the Atomic Weapons Establishment) is responsible for pay negotiations with its employees. The AWE offer remains on the table and they will continue to seek a resolution.

It would not be appropriate to comment on the specific terms of the pay mandate agreed with the AWE while negotiations are ongoing with their recognised trade unions.
