I would be very happy indeed to have an independent body determine the appropriate level of remuneration for councillors, as well as for MPs. At present it is one of those things that one just cannot have a rational debate about as there is too much scope for politicking, as we have seen on this forum. In our borough we have Labour and other councillors criticising the current allowances, yet I've no doubt that in Labour-controlled boroughs which pay similar rates they face the same criticisms from their own opposition councillors. A debate which operates on this level cannot aspire to a just resolution. |
