SIR – It didn’t surprise me to receive no reply to my letter asking what MPs are sacrificing in the current financial climate via their pensions and salary.
I decided to check myself and found that their pensions carry on as usual and those on basic salary (£64,000) receive an increase of £1,000 plus, of course, expenses.
So much for us all being in it together!
