The basic pay for an MP since 2007 has increased in the following steps; Nov 2007 £61,820 Apr 2009 £64,766 Apr 2010 £65,738 Apr 2013 £66,300 Apr 2014 £67,060 The Institute of Fiscal Studies Report on Public Sector Pay (Report R97) published in Oct 2014 states that; "Since the onset of the financial crisis, public and private sector pay trends have been quite different. Between 2008 and 2010, public sector pay grew relative to that in the private sector. Private sector pay grew by around 1% (much less than the 5% growth in Consumer Price Index inflation over this period), while public sector pay grew by 4.5% (just below inflation). Since 2010, private sector pay has grown more quickly than in the public sector (although both fell in real terms). As a result, the gap that opened up during the crisis is, in 2014–15, almost back to where it was before the crisis started."
