Lord Balfe says the government needs to 'get real' and raise public sector pay to benefit the UK.
The government needs to "get real" and raise public sector pay to end strikes, a Conservative peer has said.
In an interview, Lord Balfe, who is also a former Labour MEP, told the BBC that the government needed to raise pay in the current financial year as well as the next. Strikers, including doctors, pilots and nuclear scientists "have a right to a decent standard of living", he said. The government is there to run society in the interests of its population, and it has to "talk to social partners, make it work", Lord Balfe added.
