Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on Members' Salaries, Pensions and Allowances.


Members' Salaries, Pensions and Allowances

I have some fairly fixed views on allowances and what should happen to them. I would prefer to see the additional costs allowance abolished and made part of salary so that Members could make decisions. There are lots of issues related to that concerning what is taxable and the impact on pensions, but we should make some significant changes to allowances. I want to make two more brief points; I am conscious that a number of hon. Members want to speak in the debate.
