MPs’ basic salary to rise to £110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says

Ipsa cites abuse and constituency workloads as reasons for above-inflation increase of 5% over next financial year

The basic annual salary of MPs will rise to 110,000, the expenses watchdog has said, on the grounds of increased abuse and intimidation as well as growing constituency workloads.

This year, MPs' basic pay will rise by almost 5,000, a jump of 5% over the next financial year to 98,599 - and will reach 110,000 by the end of the parliament.
