Proceeding contribution from Gregory Campbell (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 May 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Parliamentary Standards Authority.

Parliamentary Standards Authority

I thank you, Mr. Speaker, for your hospitality to me during my time in the House. I thank the Leader of the House for her statement, but there are two precise issues that I should like her to elaborate on. First, will the cap on interest payments for accommodation at £1,250 per month also apply to rental costs at the same amount? Secondly, she indicated that the restriction would prevent two Members who are married or living together as partners from claiming more than one second home allowance. Will that apply also to any other two Members who may wish to avail themselves of a property in London to try to ensure that they get additional payments?
