MPs are to receive a 2.7 per cent wage increase taking their salaries to £84,000 after they were awarded a pay increase by parliament’s spending watchdog.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority said the 2.7 per cent rise is MPs’ first pay rise in two years and takes their salaries from £81,932 to £84,144.
IPSA chair Richard Lloyd said the pay rise was fair and reflected the “dramatic” increase in MPs’ workload caused by the covid pandemic.
He said: “MPs play a vital role in our democracy and this is reflected in their pay."
“It is right that MPs are paid fairly for the responsibility and the unseen work they do helping their constituents, which dramatically increased last year.”
The rise is in line with average increase in pay for public sector employees last year, but kicks in from April 1 when the Tory government’s 1.5 per cent rise on National Insurance Contributions comes into force.
It also comes as rising energy bills, increasing inflation and interest rates add to the cost of living crisis being experienced by ordinary families.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticPuberty is a monster — or more aptly, an adorable, uncontrollable giant panda — in Pixar’s “Turning Red.” An Oscar winner for her imaginative smothering-mother short “Bao,” helmer Domee Shi makes a worthy addition to the boys-club studio’s relatively small circle of feature directors, exploring another complicated Asian American (technically, Chinese-Canadian) parent-child dynamic, this time between a perfectionist tiger mom and the high-achieving yet deeply repressed teenage daughter who’s dying to let out her inner freak just a little.For decades, boys could look to werewolves and the Incredible Hulk as colorful metaphors for mood swings and aggro outbursts, while girls have had considerably fewer models to draw on for the changes they face in adolescence — which is where Shi’s perky puberty allegory proves such a welcome innovation. One morning, after the most humiliating incident of her young life, 13-year-old Meilin Lee (voiced by Rosalie Chiang) wakes up as a giant red panda — the reddish-brown, ringtail fox-like cousin of Beijing’s black-and-white Olympic mascot, rendered here as a big, cutesy-wootsy teddy bear.
