PAY RISE IN PROSPECT FOR PARLIAMENTARIANS

THE two local MPs, Melanie Onn (Lab, Great Grimsby) and Martin Vickers (Con, Cleethorpes), can look forward to a pay hike in spring.

Along with all other MPs, they are set for a £1,049 increase in April.

This will boost basic salary from £74,962 to £76,011.

The 1.3 per cent boost is above the 1 per cent cap imposed on other public sector workers until 2019.
