Stop the increase of MP wages of 1.3% MPs are to get a pay rise of 1.3%, nine months after they received a backdated boost to £74,000. The latest rise, which will take effect from April, equates to another £962 in MPs’ pockets each year and breaks the government’s own 1% cap on public sector pay rises. This increase MPs’ salary from £67,000 to £74,000.
