Description

Scores of backbenchers from across the parliamentary divide have put their names to a Commons motion calling for a pay review which could double their salaries. They argue that the rewards of the job are simply not high enough to attract high calibre candidates to Parliament. Political correspondent Max Cotton interviews Labour MP Margaret Hodge about her support for the early day motion.
