The PCS union says members will walk out in Ireland and Wales this week and at the DVLA from 11 June.

Civil servants around the UK are to continue striking despite an improved pay offer from the government.

On Friday, the government made a new offer to try to break the deadlock. Union bosses said civil servants below senior grades had been offered a lump sum of £1,500 for 2022/23.The deal was welcomed by the union and in a statement on Monday evening the PCS said it was the "first time in our union's history" that members had won "considerable extra money for members".

The union said any re-ballots for further action had been put on hold pending the outcome of talks with the government at the end of the month.Officials had been calling for a 10% pay rise to reflect the rising cost of living but at the time the government said their demands would cost an "unaffordable £2.4bn".
