Motion Text

That this House welcomes the SSRB recommendations on the reform of honourable Members' staff salaries; agrees with the SSRB that the new system should be in place immediately following the General Election; believes it would be quite wrong for narrow calculations of party of political advantage to be used to delay the decent treatment of honourable Members' staff; and calls on the Government to allocate parliamentary time to endorse these proposals forthwith.
