Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the financial impact on local authorities of the imposition of a one per cent pay cap.

While local government is not covered by public sector pay policy which is set by HM Treasury, it will, of course, have regard for it.
Local government pay matters are devolved and it is for local authorities as independent employers and locally elected bodies to make these decisions within the limits of what is affordable.
