Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether the pay system in her Department has been changed to take account of the Employment Appeal Tribunal ruling on Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council v Mr G Willetts and Others on holiday pay and voluntary overtime; and whether affected workers in her Department have been given back pay as a result of that ruling.

The Department for Work and Pensions is currently developing a policy to account for the rulings related to holiday pay and voluntary overtime. As this policy is still in development, no payments have been made.
