Doctors, nurses and members of the armed forces will not receive a pay rise above one per cent this year, Downing Street has said.

Number 10 indicated the public sector pay cap will continue to apply to those professions whose pay bodies have already had recommendations accepted by the Government for 2017/18.

That means the pay ceiling will remain in place until at least April 2018 - depending on whether the Treasury decides to lift the public sector pay cap.

However, other professions whose pay bodies are yet to make a recommendation this year could still have their pay increased above the one per cent ceiling.
