MP on standards committee tells 5 live that MPs should be given a pay rise now that IPSA has recommended it.

How much Mp's are paid and what they should be allowed to claim for on expenses have been a constant issue of public debate since Mp's expenses were first published, in sometimes excruciating detail, in 2009. The Commons Committee on Standards said yesterday that it disagreed with proposals put forward by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority to cut back some Mp's perks in exchange for an 9 per cent rise which would take their basic salary to 74 thousand pounds in 2015.

The conservative MP Robert Buckland sits on the standards committee and told Victoria Derbyshire that he didn't want a pay rise, but felt that as the independent body IPSA had recommended it, then it should go ahead.
