MPs calling for equitable pay rises for their staff must also agree that our members deserve fair pay

MPs have written to IPSA demanding their staff are given the same 2.7% pay rise they have been awarded

Garry Graham, Prospect deputy general secretary, said:

“MPs are entirely right that it is deeply unfair for them to get a 2.7% pay rises while their staff are stuck with a rise of just 1.5%.  

“Presumably they must also be outraged that thousands of civil servants, who serve this government, have been subject to 1.5% or less – anything else would be rank hypocrisy.”
