PUBLICATION OF SALARIES AND REMUNERATION PACKAGES PAID FROM PUBLIC FUNDS

Early day motion 1619, tabled 9 June 2009 by Roger Godsiff (Labour). Signed by 28 members.

That this House recognises the understandable public interest which has been generated by the publication of salaries and expenses of hon. Members; believes that all salaries and remuneration packages paid to individuals, either directly or indirectly, from public funds exceeding three times the current national average wage of £25,123, during the tax year 2008-09, should be placed in the public domain and made available for public scrutiny; and further believes that this practice should be implemented and the figures up-rated as a standard requirement for each future tax year.

Signatures by party: Labour 20, Liberal Democrat 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Conservative 1, DUP 1, Scottish National Party 1.
