MPs reckon they should receive massive pay rise

"An anonymous survey of MPs has found that 69% of those questioned think they are underpaid. And on average, they suggest an MP’s salary should be £86,250 - a 32% rise.


The survey was commissioned by the independent watchdog that oversees MPs’ pay and expenses.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) also said the poll suggested MPs’ views on pensions were split.

Some 36% believed they should receive a career average pension, similar to those being introduced in the rest of the public sector, and 35% of MPs thought they should keep their final salary pensions.

Ipsa released the results of the survey alongside its report on the first public consultation considering MPs’ pay and pensions.

In light of the consultation results, it has ruled out performance related pay, regional pay or pay that reflects any second jobs that MPs have outside Parliament.

Ipsa will continue to look at MPs’ remuneration, with the intention to outline a new package in the autumn – which would take effect from the next Parliament in 2015.

But the watchdog confirmed MPs’ pay will rise by 1% in 2013 and 1% in 2014, in line with the public sector." -- MSN website
