Obviously, they must take a decision that is sustainable within the resources that they have available, but that is entirely a question for local government to judge and not one for me to consider.I add the caveat that the Scottish Government produces a pay policy. We have produced the policy for 2009-10 and we will produce one for 2010-11, which I expect to be published in the spring of 2010 and which will set out the general parameters of the pay deals that ordinarily come within the ambit of the Scottish Government.
