Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 May 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Review of Parliamentary Standards Act 2009.


Review of Parliamentary Standards Act 2009

Yes; I have said that several times and it is important. Although this House has many new Members, it is important that we remember why we got to this position. We have to ensure that we move things forward, and focus on independence and transparency. We have had debates recently on our pay, and the consideration of our pay will be moved across to IPSA in the not-too-distant future. Its independence is important so that people have confidence. The Committee, when it is set up, will have to remember that the recommendations it makes about the scheme and the operation of the scheme will be made to IPSA.
