MLAs in NI currently earn less than their counterparts in Scotland and Wales

Stormont's 90 assembly members (MLAs) are in line to see a pay rise of more than £14,000 from April this year taking their salaries to £67,200, the panel that sets their salaries has said.

MLAs currently earn £53,000 a year, which is less than their counterparts in the UK's other devolved parliaments in Scotland and Wales.

The independent remuneration board is responsible for determining the salaries and pensions of MLAs.

On Thursday, it said it will now seek feedback and views on its draft proposal before presenting a final determination.
