The newly elected MP announces he will give his entire parliamentary salary to charity.

Shortly after his election as MP for Great Yarmouth, Rupert Lowe announced he would donate his entire parliamentary salary to local charities.

The MP salary, approximately £91,346 per year, would be distributed to different charitable organisations in Great Yarmouth each month.

Lowe stated he did not need the income, reflecting his substantial personal wealth from his business career.

The pledge was seen as a demonstration that Lowe entered politics for conviction rather than financial reward.
