MPs in line for a potential £2,000 pay rise

It will come into effect on April 1st – the same time the Government’s controversial rise in National Insurance payments comes in.

Downing Street has urged “restraint” over any pay rise proposed for MPs this year.

MPs are currently paid £81,932 and usually see their pay rise annually in line with average public sector salary increases.

Last year, that was suspended due to the economic impact of the pandemic, and the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) – which sets the level of pay – stopped what would have been a £3,300 hike after coming under pressure from MPs.

This year, if the rise goes ahead, MPs would enjoy a 2.7 per cent increase of more than £2,000.

It would come into effect on April 1st – the same time the Government’s controversial rise in National Insurance payments comes in.

The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said Ipsa was “independent of Government and they haven’t set out any proposals yet which I’ve seen”.

But he added: “I would say we would expect restraint on matters like this given the current circumstances, but beyond that I think it’s right that we let Ipsa set out their proposals as an independent body.”

The spokesman said he did not believe the Prime Minister would be making representations on the matter.

Ahead of the proposed 2021 rise, more than 50 Tory MPs wrote to Ipsa calling on the body impose a pay freeze for parliamentarians.

Ipsa told The Sun “a decision on MPs’ pay for 2022-23 will be taken early in 2022”, saying it “will take into account ONS data as well as other relevant information”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
