House of Lords: Financial Support for Members

The current scheme of financial support for Members of the House is based on a Resolution of the House and a Report of the House Committee (1st Report 2010-12, HL Paper 18), both agreed to by the House on 20 July 2010. The Resolution was not time-limited but the Report recommended that “any new arrangements are put in place for the duration of the present Parliament”.

The scheme is now subject to a review that is set to conclude early in the new Parliament. To avoid any uncertainty in the interim, the House Committee has agreed that the current arrangements should continue into the new Parliament until such point as they are superseded by any new arrangements agreed to by the House.
