The man in charge of setting out how much MPs should be paid explains why he thinks they should get a pay rise of six thousand pounds after the next general election.
In an exclusive interview, the head of the independent organisation carrying out the review into politicians pay explains why he thinks the salary of our MPs should rise from just over sixty-six thousand pounds a year to seventy-four thousand pounds a year, after the next election.
