National pay rates may be scrapped for public workers

Quote:

Chancellor George Osborne is expected to reveal plans to scrap public sector national pay rates in the Budget.
He is thought to have backed the plan after Treasury research found people in public sector roles earned, on average, 8% more than their private sector counterparts across England and Wales.
Local factors, such as the cost of living and private sector pay rates, are now set to be taken into account.
I can see this causing some problems

I think it's hard enough to attract,for example,decent teachers to inner city schools ,dropping their wages will only make things worse.

I've always understood the concept of a London allowance as it's unique situation, however to extend the concept in reverse to the rest of the county seems perverse

Surely if you do the same job as someone else, then you deserve the same wage, no matter where you live?

that's how i see it ,setting pay rates based on where you live just seems wrong

Move all the senior civil servants to somewhere extremely cheap and see what happens to this idea.
