The majority of MPs voted against accepting recommendations 1-4, 6, 7 and 13[1] of the following recommendations made by the Members Estimate Committee.[2] See below for details of these recommendations.
They did this by replacing the motion which read:[3]
-
This House
-
welcomes the Third Report from the Members Estimate Committee: Review of Members Allowances (House of Commons Paper 578);
-
endorses in particular the recognition of the need for a robust system of scrutiny for parliamentary allowances and the accompanying emphasis in the Report on improved audit;
-
and is of the opinion that
-
Recommendations 1-5 (audit and assurance),
-
Recommendations 6 and 7 (scope of overnight expenses),
-
Recommendations 9 and 10 (Communications Allowance),
-
Recommendations 11 and 12 (travel),
-
Recommendations 13 and 14 (overnight expenses),
-
Recommendation 15 (resettlement), and
-
Recommendations 16-18 (other SSRB recommendations)
-
should be implemented, subject to decisions of the Members Estimate Committee with respect to their introduction and application;
with an alternative motion, which read:[4]
-
This House
-
welcomes the report from the Members Estimate Committee;
-
recognises the need to strengthen the system of scrutiny and is of the opinion that a rigorous internal system of audit of the Additional Costs Allowance be introduced covering 25 per cent. of hon. Members each year, and every hon. Member each Parliament;
-
and is of the opinion that Recommendations 5 (staff contracts), 8 (constituency offices), 9 and 10 (communications allowance), 11 and 12 (travel), 14 (overnight expenses), 15 (resettlement), and 16, 17 and 18 (other SSRB recommendations) be approved
The rejected recommendations are as follows:
Recommendation 1 was for a "robust new system of practice assurance involving regular financial health checks on records kept and processes used in Members' offices with outside professional teams covering about 25% of Members each year". This was substituted by a "rigorous internal system of audit".
Recommendation 2 would have extended "the scope of the audit engagement so that it is the same as for other public bodies."
Recommendation 3 would have reduced the receipt threshold from £25 to zero so that all claims, however small, would have had to be backed by receipts.
Recommendation 4 was for the Green Book (setting out the rules on allowances for Members) to be revised to specify more detailed rules.
Recommendation 6 was for MPs to no longer be able to claim reimbursement for furniture and household goods or for capital improvements.
Recommendation 7 was that MPs representing constituencies in outer London should be eligible to claim half of any overnight expenses allowance.
Recommendation 13 was for the Additional Costs Allowance to comprise of a £19,600 maximum budget for accommodation (excluding furniture, household goods and capital improvements) but operating on the basis of itemised reimbursement and a flat rate of £30 for daily subsistence.
