Ministers will give up their 2008/9 pay rises

All government ministers will give up their 1.5% pay rise for this financial year, Downing Street has announced.

The prime minister's decision was approved at this morning's Cabinet meeting, his spokesman said.

Gordon Brown said ministers would not accept a pay rise "given the importance of public sector pay restraint at a time of economic uncertainty".
