Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor David Heath (Liberal Democrat), on Thursday, 23 April 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 22 members in total.
PRIME MINISTER'S PROPOSALS FOR A DAILY ALLOWANCE FOR HON. MEMBERS
That this House believes that the proposal to introduce a daily allowance for hon. Members fails the test of transparency rightly expected by the public; is concerned that a daily allowance will be wide open to abuse by some hon. Members; is further concerned that a daily allowance could penalise those hon. Members representing constituencies at a substantial distance from Westminster or those carrying out essential duties in their constituencies; and therefore believes that the proposal will fail to re-establish public confidence in the probity and transparency of the political system.
