States Members’ remuneration reports

In 2013 States Members received remuneration of £42,000 and an expense allowance of £4,000. In 2014 these were merged and overall remuneration was increased to £46,600. The level of remuneration has not changed since then and the Review Body’s February report recommended holding remuneration level at £46,600 until 2022. Comparing like for like, States Members’ remuneration has increased by 1.3% since 2013.
