DO AS I SAY !!! NO PAY RISE ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED !!!

Brown warns MPs over pay increase

Mr Brown said he would like to pay nurses and police more PM's interview

Gordon Brown has urged MPs to limit their pay rises to keep them in line with those of public sector workers like nurses and police.

The decision on MPs' pay will be made by the House of Commons, but Mr Brown said increases must stay below 2%.

He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show they should demonstrate the "discipline that we ask of other people" and that ministers "must" do the same.

Mr Brown said 2008 would be "decisive" for "breaking the back of inflation".

Anger

The Senior Salaries Pay Board has reportedly recommended a 2.8% increase for MPs on the current £60,675 a year.
