Proceeding contribution from Graham Allen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on House of Commons (Effectiveness).


House of Commons (Effectiveness)

I am loth to interrupt my hon. Friend in mid flow, but I will add that although the amount of money allocated to Members for staffing purposes sounds very large, after taking out national insurance and pensions, it is not only quite a small sum—only enough for three and a half people covering the constituency and Westminster—but smaller than it was last year. We will be trying to do more on less over the coming year.
