"THE House of Commons is set to give up the right to vote through MPs' pay rises – and the move could ensure them a heftier pay package. Harriet Harman, the Commons leader, suggested yesterday this could be the last year MPs decide their own pay.This would effectively leave the Senior Salaries Review Board in charge of imposing pay deals – and it often recommends inflation-busting rises."
Mr Smith knew there would be a hitch somewhere. MPs shouldn't get to set their own salaries, but they might be happy to do if it means they will get an even bigger increase. And since when was it a "right" for MPs to vote for their own pay increase?
