There is a list of allowances and pay on the Parliament website. Remember are you including the basic pay, or the expenses they can claim for (such as office costs, staffing costs, equipment costs, blah blah)???
An MPs parliamentary salary is £60,277 from 1 November 2006.
The PM gets £187,611 a year, before allowances.
How much are Ministers, the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, the Speaker in the Commons and office-holders in the Lords paid?
Ministers’ pay is made up of two elements, the parliamentary salary (Members’ pay) and a ministerial salary. The table below shows the combined salary entitlement for Ministers and other office-holders for the last complete financial year:

About 60,000 pounds sterling per annum but for allowances it appears to be whatever they can claim and get away with. I think at the last publication of their allowances the top five claimants were New Labour,so much for Bliar's 'whiter than white' No independent examination is really given to their allowances but their story is that they are 'Honourable' and to be trusted !. After their record as MP's most of them shouldn't be trusted with a 'piggy bank'

Wow! A question I actually know!
Not as much as you would think.
High up ones i.e Gordon Brown, David Cameron are paid £550 a day which works out as about £150,000 a year.

The salary is about 150k but it is the added expenses they can claim that more than doubles their salaries.

probably in the regions of thousands of pounds, and yet they are grossly overpaid, especially blair and co who aren't worth the money they are being paid
