The election of States president will be held on 20 November

A Green Paper from Debbie Burgess is suggesting a pay packet of �6,000 a year for all Alderney politicians.

The move, which could be considered at next month's States, will cost taxpayers an extra �20,000 a year.

But it is that hoped the move will attract new candidates who may have been put off standing in the past for financial reasons.

A salary is also seen as a way of improving the status, accountability and work expectations of local politicians.
