Parliamentary Press Gallery Attendances And Allowances

EDM number 1786 in 2003-04, proposed by Peter Bottomley on 21/10/2004.

That this House recognises that there are many good reasons why, at the conclusion to the debate on Defence In The World, on Thursday, 21st October, there were over 30 times more honourable Members present than accredited journalists, media reporters and political correspondents; understands the interest in parliamentary pay and allowances; and believes that, on the day that the Review Body reported on honourable Members' pay and allowances, it would be a friendly gesture for the Press Gallery Chairman to invite his colleagues to list their own attendance, pay and expenses.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
