Members' Salaries, Pensions and Allowances

There will be an opportunity for hon. Members to consider Sir John Baker's proposals and the Government's response, and any proposals of, or conclusions reached by, the Members Estimate Committee. I just want to be sure that we do not set forth today on a twin-track and duplicated exercise. The Members Estimate Committee will undoubtedly be important in this exercise, because it comprises senior and experienced Members, such as the right hon. Gentleman.
