House of Commons - Committee on Standards: Response to the IPSA Consultation: MP's Pay and Pensions - HC 751

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) published a consultation, 'MPs' pay and pensions: a new package', in July 2013. Although it is not a statutory duty of the Committee to comment on proposals on relating to pay and pensions, it is in within their remit to comment on proposed changes to the expenses scheme. This report responds to question 9 of the consultation which relates to 'completing the modernisation of expenses' and comments on the proposal for an Annual report from Members.
