British ministers鈥 salary frozen for another 5 years
Print Edition
British Cabinet ministers will have their pay frozen for another five years as the government tries to cut the budget deficit, Prime Minister David Cameron said yesterday.
The ministers receive 134,565 pounds (US$208,000) a year, including their parliamentary salary. Their pay has been frozen since 2010, when it was cut by 5 percent as part of austerity efforts.
Cameron鈥檚 Conservatives, who won a surprise majority in this month鈥檚 election, have pledged to find 25 billion pounds of spending cuts over the next two years as they seek to turn a 5 percent budget deficit into a surplus by 2018/19.
鈥淲e will continue to take the difficult decisions necessary to bring spending down and secure our economy,鈥 Cameron wrote in the Sunday Times newspaper. 鈥淚鈥檝e decided to freeze the pay of the ministers in the government.鈥
