Watchdog recommends £2,500 pay rise for UK MPs Under Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority’s proposal, a backbench MP’s wage would rise from £91,346 to just under £94,000.
Asked about whether Keir Starmer would accept the latest increase, his official spokesperson said pay rises for MPs were a matter for Ipsa.
MPs should receive a £2,500 pay rise for the next financial year, an increase of 2.8%, the body that recommends their salaries has said.
If the pay rise proposed by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) goes through, it would raise a backbench MP’s salary from £91,346 to just under £94,000.
MPs used to decide on their own annual pay rises but since 2011 the decision has been left to Ipsa, which consults on the proposed increase before confirming it.
