Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (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
There is a third audience: the taxpayer. Ultimately, nobody is independent of the House of Commons, because the House of Commons is not for us, but for the people—we represent the people and the taxpayer. If serious recommendations are made and IPSA ignores them, the House of Commons has a right to vote on its estimates and to reduce the amount it spends on administration.
