Pritam Singh, head of the Workers' Party, expressed support for increasing Members of Parliament salaries, citing inflation as a reason. This would be the first increase since 2011. He also agreed with the decision not to raise Ministers' salaries above 9%.

Further details on the Workers' Party's stance and the debate on political salary review are available from the source.
