David Cameron has renewed his opposition to a 10% salary hike for MPs - has stopped short of blocking the rise.
Downing Street said the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa), which sets pay for MPs, will receive a letter underlining the Prime Minister's opposition to the move.
David Cameron remains "absolutely" opposed to a pay rise for MPs - but will not block it as it would need him to re-write the law, a spokeswoman for the Prime Minister has said.
Stopping the pay rise for rank-and-file MPs, as recommended by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa), would mean a change to existing laws which would then have to be voted on in the Commons.
A document released by Ipsa defending their decision claims that due to cuts to MPs pensions and expenses - including a new ban on claiming for evening meals - the increased salaries would not cost taxpayers "a penny more".
