The spending of Parliament Watchdog wants to participate in the review of about 20 members of the public as to how it determines the salary of MPs.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) says that the “platform of citizens” will help shape the salary and expenditure policy from next year.

The group will be found four times in September, and will make recommendations with a comprehensive online consultation for running until autumn.

The review of IPSA will also see how the salaries of British MPs compare politicians in other countries.

After 2.8% annual growth in April, the original salary of MPS is currently £ 93,904.

Watchdog is legally mandatory to review how it determines the salaries and expenses of MPs after each general election.

Previous reviews have used online consultation to collect ideas, but this is the first time that public members have been asked to participate directly in this process.

It is expected that about 20 to 25 people will be recruited through the postal lottery of 10,000 addresses, aimed at selecting a group which is widely representative of the wide population of the UK.

The participants will be asked to make recommendations to the board of IPSA as part of the review, which should end before April.

The IPSA says that the age of the participants should be 18 years or more, and there is no need for any prior knowledge, or interest in politics.

This step is the latest example of a British body using a co-cozled citizen assembly model while taking decisions in Ireland.

This has previously been employed by the Scottish government to discuss constitutional questions after Brexit. Westminster Committees have used it to decide the recommendations on climate change and social care.

Supporters say that model can help make the decisions more democratic, although critics have questioned that the panels of volunteers are able to reflect broad ideas in broader populations at any time.

The model after Sue Gray was tipped for extensive government use, after the then employees of Sir Kir Stramer, Labor used it to decide controversial issues such as houses should be built and how to improve the house of Lords.

Ms. Gray entered Downing Street after the election, but was replaced after three months, and those plans were sheltered.

The IPSA 2009 expenses were designed for the work of establishing the salary of MPs, which was earlier fixed by MPs themselves.

The Watchdog currently does not have a set formula to fix the annual salary of MPs. Instead, it states that it balances data on public sector payments against economic reference, and pays in “comprehensive working population”.

In recent years it has experimented with adding annual awards, which is effective every April, for public sector payment data published in the previous October.

However, it has not always collided hard to use this figure.

In 2023, it recommended a high increment for MPs, arguing that the official data failed to catch the cost of the living bonus given elsewhere in the public sector.

This year, it recommended a low increase, adding its 2.8% increase with the initial treasury schemes for the public sector, which has since been increased after the government. Accept a series of recommendations Last month from pay review bodies.

In a report published last year, IPSA found that in 2023 British MPs were paid more than counterparts in countries including France and New Zealand.

But they were found in Ireland, Germany, Canada, Australia and the United States less than counterparts, found in the survey.
