Boris Johnson has today advised that MP’s should not receive a payrise of up to £3,000 amid reports that millions of public sector workers will see their wages frozen.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has suggested he could impose a public sector pay freeze in his spending review on Wednesday.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “The Prime Minister is responsible for ministerial salaries which he decided to freeze.
“MPs’ salaries are obviously decided by an independent body but given the circumstances the PM does not believe that MPs should be receiving a pay rise.”
