Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on Members' Salaries, Pensions and Allowances.


Members' Salaries, Pensions and Allowances

The hon. Gentleman's comments are rather perverse. We criticise Government actions on the police—a no-strike deal was an integral part of an arbitration process—but we are now almost trying to make two wrongs into a right by ignoring the independent board's recommendations on our salaries. Surely we should defend the notion of implementing the findings of an independent board properly, rather than simply grandstanding on police pay.
