MPs’ Pay
« Severn Estuary Tidal Barrage | Back to most recent briefing | 42 Days Detention »
Asked if the Prime Minister would be saying anything about MPs’ pay, the PMS replied that we were not expecting the Prime Minister to speak about this subject today.
Asked if the Prime Minister had any message regarding MPs’ pay, the PMS said that the Prime Minister had made his views on this clear on numerous occasions; we had had to take some difficult decisions in relation to public sector pay over the past year and that had been necessary in order to reduce inflation. As a result of the reduction in inflation, the Bank of England was able to reduce interest rates and that had left Britain better placed than it would otherwise have been to withstand the global economic turbulence that we were seeing at the moment. Therefore it was right that MPs, like the rest of the public sector, should also have their pay staged for this year.
