Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Communications Allowance.


Communications Allowance

I am happy to clarify. My point was that one has no choice about something like a website. In 2007, I made the point that it was not right because of the postage cap to introduce a communications allowance of up to £10,000 for every Member, which clearly gave encouragement to use that amount. That is different from the one-off occasion when one has a mass petition, which the hon. Gentleman was describing, because that will not be the case for all 646 Members.
