Proceeding contribution from Baroness Keeley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on Speaker's Committee for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.

Speaker's Committee for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority

I think that the answer is yes. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority is clearly an independent body—it has the word "independent" in its title. That is the key reason for moving to the new scheme and for our working so hard a couple of months ago to get the 2009 Act through. There will be consultation, but one of the new authority's key functions, as we recognised in setting it up, is to prepare, review and revise schemes of allowances.
