MPs are in line for a controversial £7,000 pay hike. Do you think they're worth it? The body responsible for setting MP pay is sticking by its recommendation for a 10% increase. IPSA - the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority - says it will introduce the change unless "new evidence" emerges. The increase would take annual MP pay from £67,060 to £74,000.
