This House welcomes the principle of establishing, from 1st April 2007, a separate Allowance for Members of Parliament to assist in the work of communicating with the public on parliamentary business and instructs the Members Estimate Committee[1] to prepare a detailed proposal for such an allowance.
The full debate and vote establishing the Communications Allowance was held shortly before it came into force.[2]
