Pass a law banning MPs raising their pay, if there is a public sector pay freeze

Government consistently in the past has frozen the public sector pay, as part of austerity measures or for other reasons. As the same time they then go onto increase their own salary. This is a lack of integrity and should be put to a stop immediately.

The Government and Parliament don’t have the power to set MPs’ pay. That power was given by Parliament to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) in 2010, so that after 2012 MPs no longer had control over their own pay. IPSA conducted a public consultation after 2012 and decided what the salaries of MPs should be after the election.

If you would like to contact IPSA about its decision, here’s how to contact them:
