South West Wiltshire's MP says the issue of university vice chancellor pay needs to be addressed urgently.

Andrew Murrison quit his position at Bath University earlier this year over Dame Glynis Breakwell's salary.

She earns £451,000 per year.

A debate on the subject was held in the House of Commons last night.
