The Shadow Chancellor George Osborne has announced plans to freeze pay on all public sector workers for a year.

Anyone earning more than 18 thousand pounds would be affected, apart from members of the military.

In his major address to the Conservative party  Conference Mr Osborne also promised to get tough on bankers bonuses and confirmed he'd raise the state pension age a decade earlier than Labour.
