Sky News understands the government has ruled out negotiating this year's pay for public sector workers as it is nearly the end of the financial year
Nurses have said they will call off strike action later this month if the government discusses pay for this year - but ministers are standing by their refusal not to.
Asked whether talks next week will include discussions about this year's pay, the prime minister said on Friday:"What we've said is we want to have a grown-up, honest conversation with all union leaders about what is responsible, what is reasonable, and what is affordable for our country when it comes to pay.
"But negotiations about pay for the current year, not next year, are what we need to call off this month's strike action.
