Northern Ireland Assembly: Pay
(asked on 24th April 2018) - View Source
Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, for what reasons she did not exercise her power to cut the salaries of members of the Northern Ireland Assembly; and if she will make a statement.
This question was answered on 27th April 2018
The Secretary of State has used her power to make a determination on MLA salaries under the Northern Ireland Assembly Members (Pay) Act 2018 to prevent an automatic inflationary increase from applying on 1 April. She is currently considering what further steps to take, alongside other pressing matters arising from the absence of a Northern Ireland Executive.
