Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

My hon. Friend mentions the cost and expense of MPs. With an independent body setting MPs' salaries, has he considered the certainty that if the Bill proceeds into law, it will inevitably increase the salary of MPs? The argument will be put—and doubtless accepted—that there is more work per MP, and that there should therefore be a certain rate for the job. Therefore, this Bill will not cut pay; it will in fact increase the pay of MPs.
