The Cameron government has argued regional pay in the public sector will help poorer regions compete and result in more job opportunities. The NEF report concludes that, whereas London and the South East have higher living costs, there are no significant differences between other regions and lower wages would merely hurt purchasing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.unison.org.uk\u002Fnews\u002Fnews_view.asp?did=7969\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.unison.org.uk\u002Fnews\u002Fnews_view.asp?did=7969\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Ci>This           article was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
