PAYMENT OF COMMITTEE CHAIRS

Early day motion 157, tabled 18 June 2015 by Baroness Hoey (Labour). Signed by 4 members.

That this House reaffirms that all hon. and right hon. Members are equal; notes that there are now 34 Select and other committees whose chairs receive additional payment for their Parliamentary service; recognises that the Government intends to continue to seek to reduce public spending, and that the public therefore expects efficiency in such straitened times; notes that the additional payment for a committee chair has now reached £15,025 per annum; and calls for an end to these unjustifiable payments
