MPs Pay and Pension Report and Consultation

We have published a technical consultation on the mechanism used for the periodic updating of MPs’ salaries, following on from the statutory consultation we undertook last year.

Last year we left MP salaries unchanged in the light of the extraordinary economic conditions prevailing at that time.

We are now consulting on an adjustment to the mechanism that should be used to determine future annual adjustments, rather than on what the amount of any such adjustment should be.

We have also published our report on the consultation we held in March 2021 on our proposed response to the McCloud court case, in relation to MPs’ pensions.

We are proposing changes to the MPs’ pension scheme in light of the McCloud case. We will develop more detailed proposals on which, provided the value for money test is met, we expect to consult further towards the end of this year.

You can respond to the consultation. The consultation will close at 5pm on Thursday 19 August.
