To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the average annual salary and expenses paid to (1) members of the House of Commons, and (2) members of the European Parliament.[HL5894]
The determination and administration of the pay, pensions and expenses for Members of Parliament is the responsibility of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA). The current salary of a Member of Parliament is £66,396. IPSA publish the salary and total business costs and expenses paid to each MP.
Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) paid by the European Parliament under the Statute for Members of the European Parliament are paid at 38.5%of the basic salary of a judge at the Court of Justice of the European Communities, which is currently € 7.956,87 a month before EU tax and accident insurance contribution. Those British MEPs who are not paid under the Statute for Members of the European Parliament are paid at the same rate as MPs.

This Government believes that MEP pensions should, as with those of British Parliamentarians and Civil Servants, be kept under review and, if necessary, reformed to ensure that they do not become a inappropriate burden on taxpayers. The Government has made it clear that we expect all the EU Institutions, including the European Parliament, to make very substantial savings on pay and pensions expenditure. The Government has also, through the Public Service Pensions Act 2013, created the scope for some British MEP pensions, where the MEP continues to receive their salary directly from the British Government, to be reformed in line with the wider changes in public service pensions. Any decision on the reform of these pensions will be made by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA).

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have held with the government of Israel concerning its recent decision to deny Members of the European Parliament access to the Gaza Strip.[HL3028]
We were disappointed that the Israeli authorities refused to let a European Parliament delegation visit Gaza from Israel. We have not to date had any discussions with the Israeli authorities on this issue. This is a matter for the European Parliament.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what the income tax arrangements are for UK members of the European Parliament.
UK tax rules and rates apply to any salary, allowances and pension received as a UK MEP. Since 2009, the salary of most MEPs has also been subject to an EU level Community tax, which UK MEPs are entitled to offset against their overall UK tax liability.
