WESTMINSTER PARLIAMENTARY PASSES FOR MEMBERS OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THEIR STAFF

Early day motion 1636, tabled 10 June 2009 by Lord Mann (Labour). Signed by 30 members.

That this House notes that the number of parliamentary passes available for the staff of hon. Members and Peers is necessarily limited; further notes that Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are allocated passes to the parliamentary estate, but that hon. Members are not allocated passes to the European Parliament; and believes that it is unnecessary for MEPs or their staff to be allocated House of Commons passes and that new MEPs should not therefore be issued with such passes.

Signatures by party: Labour 27, Liberal Democrat 2, Scottish National Party 1.
