Issued by the News Distribution Service on behalf of The Hutton Review of Fair Pay

The Hutton Review of Fair Pay in the Public Sector, announced by the Chancellor in June, today issued a call for evidence, inviting views from all interested parties on issues around fairness in pay.

Announcing the call for evidence, Will Hutton said:
"Ahead of my interim report in the autumn, I will be developing a definition of fair pay and exploring the benefits of fairness in pay and in the processes by which pay is determined. I will be examining the evidence on pay dispersion in both public and private sectors, and the relationships between the two. I would like to invite the evidence and views of experts and interested parties as I do this."

The call for evidence is posted on the Fair Pay Review page on the HM Treasury website http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/indreview_willhutton_fairpay.htm and the deadline for responses is 6 September 2010.
