Bear in mind that there are many ways to fiddle the figures.
A 5% reduction in MPs' salaries would show up in pay statistics but an increase in allowances wouldn't unless it was looked into closely. Mind you, they have to live in London for 75% of the time so I'll cut them a little slack.
Much as I would like to believe that there is a ruthless war on waste going on in Westminster, part of me remains cynical.
