Mr. Jacques Arnold: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the allowances and the pension
arrangements currently available to British Member of the European Parliament. [7111]
Mr. David Davis: [holding answer 2 December 1996]:
Members of the European Parliament may claim expenses that they incur in performance of their parliamentary duties as follows:
general office costs; travel within their member state and to official meetings or conferences; subsistence costs while attending
official meetings; and costs of employing secretaries of assistants.
Pension arrangements for United Kingdom Members of the European Parliament are analogous to those for Members of the House of
Commons. They are financed by the Exchequer and by contributions from individual MEPs at a rate of 6 per cent. of basic salary. MEPs
may also subscribe to the European Parliament's additional voluntary pension scheme. Two thirds of payments to the scheme come from
the EP budget, one third from participating MEPs.
