MPs’ pay and pensions reviewed
MPs’ pay and pensions are being reviewed by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.
A new consultation is the first time that all elements of MPs’ remuneration – pay, pensions and resettlement payments for MPs leaving Parliament – have been considered together and set independently.
The consultation launched today runs until 7 December 2012.
IPSA’s chairman Sir Ian Kennedy, said: "I encourage people to give it some thought – what do we expect from our MPs and what is a fair reward for the job? If you’ve got a view, get involved – email us, tweet us, visit our website. We want to know what you think."
