MP’s Pay

Asked if we were getting recommendations on MP’s pay tomorrow, and did we recognise the figures that were run by the BBC at lunchtime, the PMS replied that the was obviously a lot of speculation around this, and there had been some speculation in on of the Sunday newspapers before Christmas as well. But for guidance he was not aware of any plans for a public announcement on this tomorrow.

Asked why the Prime Minister had not published these figures before, the PMS replied that we would be bringing them forward at the appropriate time, once all of the proper procedures had been followed.

Asked if was correct that we had already received recommendations, and it was for us to publish them, the PMS replied that this was correct.

Dear Sir or Madam,

When local authorities throughout the country are restricting care provided to frail elderly people is is imperative that Parliament restricts its pay increase to that set by government for the police.
Not a penny more.
You cannot justify spending extra public money on salaries for MP’s when the frail elderly are denied decency.

Yours sincerely,

Martin Game
