MEMBERS' STAFF SALARIES
Early day motion 608, tabled 25 April 2001 by Alan Simpson (Labour). Signed by 120 members.
That this House welcomes the SSRB recommendations on the reform of honourable Members' staff salaries; agrees with the SSRB that the new system should be in place immediately following the General Election; believes it would be quite wrong for narrow calculations of party of political advantage to be used to delay the decent treatment of honourable Members' staff; and calls on the Government to allocate parliamentary time to endorse these proposals forthwith.
Signatures by party: Labour 82, Liberal Democrat 23, Labour/Co-operative 5, Conservative 4, Plaid Cymru 2, UUP 2, Scottish National Party 1, Unknown 1.
