BROMSGROVE'S MP says he believes a proposed 10 per cent pay rise for MPs is wrong.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) says unless "new and compelling evidence" emerges by the end of this month, MPs' pay will go from £67,060 a year to £74,000.

Some current and former cabinet ministers who say they will give the entire £6,940 away in the wake of a petition signed by 376,000 people labelling it "unfair and unjust".

The Taxpayers' Alliance has also called for the Prime Minister to overrule the recommendation, calling it "out of touch".

IPSA was handed control of decisions over MPs' pay and expenses in the wake of the 2009 expenses scandal, and does not need to get the agreement of parliament to bring the rises in.

Under the current timetable it will be backdated to Friday, May 8.

The town's MP Sajid Javid, who is also the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, said: "An independent body, IPSA, rightly decides MPs’ pay - I believe a pay rise is wrong and I hope IPSA reconsiders.

"But’s it's for IPSA to make their decision.

"I don't want a return to a system where MPs' decide their own pay.

"When it comes to the part of MPs’ pay we do control, ministerial pay, we have rightly frozen it for the next five years."

In 2013 Prime Minister David Cameron urged the watchdog to scrap the suggestion, but caved in earlier this month by admitting he would not block it.

Amid mounting furore Education Secretary Nicky Morgan and Eric Pickles, the former local government secretary, both say they will give the whole amount to charity.

Labour leadership contenders Andy Burnham, Liz Kendall and Yvette Cooper have said the same.
