北爱尔兰的议员将在2026年4月获得27%的薪水提升至67,200英, 如果政府在18周内不成立, Northern Ireland’s MLAs will get a 27% pay raise to £67,200 in April 2026, with penalties if a government isn’t formed within 18 weeks.

北爱尔兰的议员将获得27%的加薪,从2026年4月1日开始,他们的工资将从53,000英增加到67,200英,尽管受到广泛的公众批评,但独立薪酬委员会批准了这一提议. Northern Ireland’s MLAs will receive a 27% pay rise, increasing their salary from £53,000 to £67,200 starting April 1, 2026, approved by the Independent Remuneration Board despite widespread public criticism. 增加薪酬的目的是使薪酬与同侪议会保持一致,并确保其作用在财政上仍然可行。 The increase aims to align pay with peer parliaments and ensure the role remains financially viable. 如果在选举后18周内没有组建政府,新的制裁将每6周削减10%的司法协助金。 New sanctions will cut MLA pay by 10% every six weeks if a government is not formed within 18 weeks of an election. 董事会指出,过去审查的拖延是调整的原因,而各政党的政治领导人则对公平、时机和斯托蒙特的表现表示关切。 The board cited delays in past reviews as a reason for the adjustment, while political leaders across parties expressed concern over fairness, timing, and Stormont’s performance.
