![MSPs Awarded 3.4% Pay Rise](https://cdn.magzter.com/1583517504/1640137146/articles/AiCavMXEe1640154436660/Inflation.png)
MSPs were handed an early Christmas present yesterday as Scottish Parliament bosses offered them a 3.4 per cent wage rise next year.
Politicians at Holyrood saw their wages frozen last year, despite parliament chiefs earmarking a 5.1 per cent rise for them.
The increase would take MSPs' basic salary to £66,662 from April.
Members can claim expenses and can top up their wages significantly if they are promoted to a Scottish Government position.
Since 2015, salaries for MSPs have been directly linked to public-sector pay rises in Scotland.
Before that, their salaries were linked to MPs' pay, with MSPs getting 87.5 per cent of their Westminster counterparts' wage.
