Perhaps in future, increases in direct relation to major changes in working and resultant cost savings, could be divorced from the cost-of-living rise - and so not applicable for the RPI + 0.5% cap.
This may be true...then again it may not be. I could be £100k worse off (bloody hope not!) or no worse off at all. My reason for the NO vote is that there are way too many assumptions being taken into account and used as concrete facts in this proposal. Vote NO.
