The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) is inviting approximately 20 members of the public to join a review assessing MPs' pay and expenses. This citizens' forum will meet four times in September and contribute to recommendations for policy adjustments, coinciding with a broader online consultation running until autumn. The initiative aims to create a democratic process, combining local insight with statutory evaluations and comparisons to other countries' MP salaries. Participants, randomly selected from a postal lottery, will help ensure decisions are representative of the UK population.
Ipsa's initiative marks the first time public members will directly participate in shaping MPs' pay and expenses policy, bringing a new level of community engagement.
The citizens' forum aims to gather diverse views from the public, ensuring that the process of determining MPs' salaries reflects a broader spectrum of society.
