And in 2014 it was 1.5%, 2015 0%, 2016 0.7%.
Also, last year, over half the staff received pay rises of 3-4% on top of the annual 1% rise.

These are in-the-job pay rises that staff receive for career progression. Last year, half of staff received rises worth between 3% and 4% on top of the 1% annual pay rise.

I used to get this argument from colleagues, when there was a pay freeze where I worked, but the annual increments (for those who weren't top of the scale, which was about 75% of them) were worth 3-4%.
