"In December 2013 we reached a decision that there should be a package of changes, including pension reform, ending resettlement payments and increasing MPs' pay to £74,000. The overall package will add no extra cost to the taxpayer."

2015's crop of MPs are set to receive an added bonus on top of their latest election wins - an extra £7,000 on their yearly pay packet. A final review by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) is expected to confirm a rise from £67,060 to £74,000 later this year.
