The Finance Minister says he does not envisage any extra pension levy for public servants for the lifetime of the newly agreed pay deal.

Unions and employers last week agreed proposals for a new two-year pay agreement to succeed the previous deal, which had been due to expire at the end of December. If ratified by union members, it will grant a general 1% per year pay increase.
