HON. MEMBERS' PAY AND ALLOWANCES
EDM number 1241 in 2008-09, proposed by Richard Younger-Ross on 31/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Members of Parliament.
That this House notes that there is widespread public distrust of allowances paid to hon. Members which is undermining public faith in Parliament itself; believes that such is this distrust that only a full independent review of hon. Members' pay and allowances can start to restore faith in Parliament and that such a review must have no predetermined rates or starting points but should seek to set out a fair system that rewards hon. Members and their staff for their work, is open and transparent, and will restore confidence in parliamentary pay and allowances, whilst maintaining support for hon. Members' work in the House, as well as communicating with and helping constituents, with the outcome of such a report to be then binding on the House.
This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
