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]

The issue does not arise in my case and is never likely to. As it happens, I still do not understand the logic behind the position, although I do understand the dilemma. When the person receives an allowance, the Minister says that it is for the constituents, but the reality is that the work is still being done, so a salary is still relevant. The issue remains a real problem.
