Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland Assembly Members Bill [Lords].


Northern Ireland Assembly Members Bill [Lords]

Is it understood and accepted that when someone is in the position of having a dual mandate, a reasonable case exists for that person to receive both salaries on the grounds that they are doing the work? I know that there are constraints on public expenditure and some issues of principle as well, but it seems difficult to understand why a person doing work in two Assemblies should not be paid for both jobs.
