August 2011 sees the 100th anniversary of an often emotive issue—the payment of salaries to British Members of Parliament.

Origins of MPs' Salaries

Before 1911, MPs were expected to represent their constituents for reasons of obligation and a sense of duty to the community. This was all well and good for those who could afford not to be remunerated for this, but for the less well-off and the new breed of working class Labour politicians, a career in politics was not going to pay the bills.

Therefore David Lloyd George, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and a man of enlightened thinking, spearheaded a motion to remunerate MPs with an annual salary of £400. The motion was passed 265 to 173 and MPs became salaried.
