Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the one per cent public sector pay cap applies to employees of (a) Highways England, (b) Network Rail, (c) the Civil Aviation Authority, (d) the investigation branches for air, marine and rail accidents and (e) HS2 Ltd.

The one percent pay cap applies to the accident investigation branches. It does not apply to the CAA, which is a public corporation and is not covered by public sector pay arrangements.

Highways England and HS2 Ltd have agreed separate pay flexibilities outside of the one percent cap with HM Treasury.

From its creation in 2002 as a company classified to the private sector Network Rail did not have a public sector pay cap and since its reclassification to the public sector Network Rail has agreed separate pay flexibilities outside of the one percent cap with HM Treasury.
