Business question from Dennis Skinner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 December 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Could the Leader of the House take it into account that, whenever a request is made to debate MPs' salaries, it always comes from the Tory side? Most Labour Members believe that you can't starve on £60,000 a year. If the taxpayer's money is to be spent wisely, let us use it for such things as free personal care for the elderly in nursing homes. That is much more important than the inflated MPs' pay that the Tories always demand.
