One of the Ministers (can't remember which one) is on record for praising this Government for not phasing in any of the pay rises and in the same breath, he criticised the last Conservative Government for having done so!
So, phasing is out..... but this is a bunch of politicians!
also mentioned on the brief was the fact that this govt had 'tested the water' on phasing by actually doing it with a part of the public sector last year, this was thought by all to indicate the probably implimentation of it nation wide in the near future.
Trust the government! no chance, George Bush Snr 'Read my lips, no new taxes' in 1988 followed by a shed load in 1990, this evidence of Bush's untrustworthiness ultimately contributed to him losing his bid for re-election. If only all of Blair and his gangs lies would send them all on their way too.
