The Taxpayers’ Alliance on IPSA:

“It beggars belief that this overgrown quango is launching yet another consultation when the public’s view is abundantly clear. It’s apparent that IPSA is hopelessly out of touch and not fit for purpose. The national debt is still rising and hard-pressed taxpayers are keeping their belts tight, so it’s totally inappropriate for these bureaucrats to recommend even higher pay for MPs. IPSA has already spent £70,000 on a consultation which showed the public believed the current pay level to be broadly fair, yet seems insistent on ignoring the findings. MPs cannot be divorced from the same pay restraint as we’re seeing everywhere else in the public sector.”
