Ministerial resignation payments (No. 2)

Early day motion 265, tabled 11 July 2022 by Munira Wilson (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 16 members.

That this House recognises that resigning Ministers are entitled to 25 per cent of the annual salary they were paid in office; notes that the cost of the 51 resignations from Government payroll last week could cost the taxpayer £245,487; further acknowledges that the cost of living crisis is forcing more children to hunger, with many families relying on foodbanks; and calls on the resigning Ministers to forgo their payments to fund 81,829 free school meal vouchers in the summer holidays.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 8, Scottish National Party 3, Independent 2, Green 1, Labour 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
