Members: Allowances
- Question
- To ask the Leader of the House how many hon. Members have repaid money received by them in allowance payments since the detailed information on hon. Members' allowance payments has been published; and how much has been so repaid (a) in total and (b) on average by hon. Members.
- Answer
-
Members repay sums to the House for numerous reasons, many of which are unconnected with the recent publication of detailed information on allowances, such as for end-year reconciliations and in respect of refunds by suppliers. Since 1 April 2009, 264 Members have repaid a total of £642,728.75. The average refund was £2,434 per Member.
