ALLOWANCES FOR HONOURABLE MEMBERS REPRESENTING SCOTTISH CONSTITUENCIES

Early day motion 709, tabled 9 June 1999 by Liam Fox (Conservative). Signed by 10 members.

That this House notes the decision of the Scottish Parliament ot reduce the allowances of regional Members of the Scottish Parliament on the grounds that they do not have constituency responsibilities; further notes that honourable Members representing Scottish constituencies will also have fewer responsibilities after 1st July 1999; and consequently invites the Senior Salaries Review Board to consider whether it is appropriate for honourable Members representing Scottish constituencies to be paid an allowance similar to that of other honourable Members.

Signatures by party: Conservative 10.
