MP’s Pay

Asked if the Prime Minister had any views on the future, regarding MPs continuing to have the right to vote on their own pay, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) said that the Leader of the House had made a statement on this towards the end of last week; she had set out that she was setting up a review which would look into the mechanism by which MPs’ pay was determined in the future and whether that would include MPs voting on their own pay.

Put that that therefore meant there would be a review of the whole thing with a view to stripping the right for MPs to vote, the PMS replied that we should not pre-empt the outcome of the review and referred journalists back to what Harriet Harman had said and the lobby briefing last Thursday afternoon for details of the process.

Put that MPs would presumably be able to vote on proposals from the Government, the PMS referred to what was said on this last week.
