Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) 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

Well—[Interruption.] I will gave way to the hon. Gentleman, whom I respect, but I am saying only that the current position needs to be reviewed, which is the clear implication of the report. None of my outer-London Liberal Democrat colleagues claim it; though some Members claim it when they live very near to the borders of inner and outer London. I am simply asking for it to be reviewed because, in my judgment, that is what has brought the House into the greatest disrepute, so it needs to be sorted. That is all; I am arguing no more than that.
