SIR CHRISTOPHER KELLY'S REPORT

Early day motion 155, tabled 23 November 2009 by Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 14 members.

That this House welcomes the report from Sir Christopher Kelly looking into hon. Members' expenses entitled Supporting Parliament, Safeguarding the Taxpayer; recognises the wide cross-party support for Sir Christopher's recommendations; notes and agrees with recommendation 40 in the Kelly Report which states that `the practice of permitting a Westminster MP simultaneously to sit in a devolved legislature should be brought to an end'; further notes with disappointment that no mention of the report and recommendations was made in the recent Queen's Speech; and calls on the Government to bring forward primary legislation where needed and implement the Kelly Report as soon as possible.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 12, Independent 2.
