Proceeding contribution from Helen Goodman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 June 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.


Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority

Does my hon. Friend agree that there is a serious impact on Members' families as well as an effect on staff? One of the most serious issues, in addition to all the points about administration, is that once children reach the age of six the entitlement to accommodation is cut off and spouses are given no travel allowance. Does my hon. Friend agree that IPSA is behaving not only independently but above the law? Is it not clear that that discriminatory rule will impact on not only the way we do our jobs but who can be elected and who can do the job?
