Conservative and Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) MPs have voted down Labour’s attempts to reverse the long-running freeze on public sector pay.

The pay rate for workers in the public sector has been frozen at one per cent rises since 2010 and Labour tabled an amendment of regret to the Queen’s Speech pushing for a pay rise.

Tory and DUP MPs came together to vote down the motion by 323 votes to 309.

Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell described the result of the vote as an “utter disgrace”.

"Tories and DUP just voted together to oppose Labour's policy to give emergency and public service workers a fair pay rise. Utter disgrace," he said.

Although some Conservative MPs voiced their opposition to the cap, they said they would not vote for the Labour motion.

“I will persistently be a loud voice to remove public sector pay cap for frontline workers. But will not vote with this political game today,” Johnny Mercer, the Tory MP for Plymouth, said.

“To vote for Labour amendment would usher in either general election or Corbyn government. Why is there even speculation? UK needs stability,” Gary Streeter, the MP for South West Devon, claimed.
