Tie MPs salaries to a multiple of the minimum wage.
Legislate to tie MPs salaries to the minimum wage.
The current salary for an MP is £81932. Someone working forty hours a week on the current minimum wage of £8.91 an hour for fortyeight weeks will receive an annual income of just over £17000 - less than a fifth of what MPs earn. Legislation that ties MPs salaries to the minimum wage will ensure the two remain proportionate to each other.
