Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether civil service pay remit guidance applies to National Highways workers.

Since National Highways was established in 2015, it has largely aligned with the Civil Service Pay Remit. NH does however operate within a 5 year pay envelope which is agreed with HMT, in parallel with Road Investment Periods, and is responsible for ensuring pay, recruitment and attraction costs do not exceed its allocated budget.
