As I have mentioned a couple of times before the Committee, the expenditure restraint legislation imposes a wage freeze. That freeze applies to election workers' wages and extends over a three-year period.
In the recommendations report that I will be completing in the coming weeks, I intend to make that very point. I have mentioned to the Committee that it would be possible to amend the current legislation, but at the present time, a freeze is in place for the next three years.
