Rejected petition Cap MP pay rises to the lowest of either CPI or average wage growth.

Cap MP pay rises to the lowest of either CPI or average wage growth. Also review how MP payrises damage public opinion.

More details

MP pay rises are a slap in the face to any person. Especially when many of us won't see half of that. The latest MP payrise of 5% proves how self serving they are.

NHS Staff (Ex Doc, Dent, Senior Manage) 3.3%
Resident Doctors 2.5%
Civil Service Up to 3.25%

And my own employment 1.75%
