Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 December 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.
Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority
I am a new Member with a constituency in outer London. Every night, I am lucky enough to return to my family. However, many colleagues tell me that, for four to five days a week, they have extreme difficulty in seeing their families because the allowances do not permit it. In many cases, a Member cannot keep their family with them unless they are rich enough. I feel that that is wrong.
