Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:12 pm on 15 March 2017.
Well, I agree that transparency is very important in relation to pay. It’s why, in December 2015, the Welsh Government published ‘Transparency of Senior Remuneration in the Devolved Welsh Public Sector’, a set of principles and guidance. It’s why the Public Services Staff Commission was asked to develop guidance on this, which they published in December of last year. That guidance was discussed at the workforce partnership council, which I chaired last week, with employers and trade unions. We remain committed to taking further steps, where necessary, to ensure that there is transparency in the way that pay is reported in the Welsh public service.
