“Retaining the 3% cap on members’ pay, which has been in place since 2021, would contradict this principle and the board therefore proposes an increase of 6% in line with the latest Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings figures for Wales.”.
Welsh politicians set for 6% pay increase Members of the Welsh parliament could receive a 6% pay rise this year.
The pay rise would also mean the Llywydd – presiding officer – would see her salary increase to £125,310.
The First Minister, Eluned Morgan, would see her additional salary rise to £90,701, taking her total pay to £167,081, while senior government ministers would get £119,343.
Proposals for a 6% increase in MSs’ pay have been put forward by the Independent Remuneration Board, as part of its annual review published on Wednesday.
