Let's wait and see eh....

I was hoping to find the thread that was on here previously about MP's pay rise and how MP's shouldn't refuse the pay rise because an independent review body says that's what they should get - I can't find it yet... but I'm sure I will.

The Low Pay Commission has recommended a 3% increase in the minimum wage to ?6.50 an hour for adults, Business Secretary Vince Cable has told MPs. Mr Cable said it would be the first increase in real terms since 2008 if the government accepts the proposal.

That's decent of those who will be getting 11%

Deputy Prime Minister and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said: "It would be incomprehensible to millions of taxpayers who pay the salary of MPs - and certainly incomprehensible to millions of people in the public sector whose pay has either been frozen or limited to an increase of 1% - that at this time MPs should receive such a dramatic increase in their pay."But he added that he did not "want to go back to the bad old days when MPs set their pay and rations, so Ipsa has got its job to do as an independent body".

I'll add some more then:

Unions have criticised government moves to halt a 1% pay rise for all NHS staff in England.
The Department of Health said the increase was unaffordable alongside the current system which sees many staff automatically receive incremental annual rises.
It has urged the NHS pay review body to withhold the rise for 1.3m staff.
Rachael Maskell, of the Unite trade union, said staff deserved the pay reward for "holding the NHS together".

Someone with exceedingly good double standards

Health minister Anna Soubry defended the government 's stance telling the BBC: "This is about making sure we pay our NHS staff well and we reward their improvement in skills."This system works in other public sectors and the private sector. People want to make sure that they are getting good quality, first class services especially at a time when the NHS faces challenges."

So the government can't interfere with independent pay review bodies eh? Pull the other one it has bells on it.
