Overnight Allowances For Hon. Members

EDM number 1312 in 2008-09, proposed by Gregory Campbell on 21/04/2009.

That this House notes the statement from the Leader of the House regarding hon. Members' allowances and expenses; welcomes the move towards openness; notes with alarm that, in connection with the flat rate allowance proposal for overnight accommodation while engaged in parliamentary duties, some distinction may be drawn between hon. Members representing constituencies in Northern Ireland and other hon. Members; and would be appalled by and would totally oppose any outcome of this section of the proposals which would lead to payments being made to those who do not attend and carry out their duties in the House.

This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
