Although London Underground workers received an 8.4% pay rise in April, prices are rising at 10.1% - their fastest rate for more than 40 years.

It means the gap between pay growth and inflation is the biggest since records began more than 20 years ago.

However, a four-year deal with unions guarantees 15,000 Tube workers an annual pay increase of RPI+0.2%, which will cost TfL £100m.

Elsewhere in the public sector, police have received 5% pay rise, teachers were awarded between 5% and 8.9% and the Armed Forces, who cannot strike, got 3.75%.

NHS workers received at least £1,400, backdated to April, with porters and cleaners getting a 9.3% increase.

Eligible doctors and dentists received a 4.5% rise.
