Pay For Select Committee Chairs

EDM number 453 in 2010-12, proposed by Kate Hoey on 08/07/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Parliamentary procedure.

That this House recognises that the economic situation means that many people are taking pay cuts; acknowledges that the Government has stated that it wants to reduce the cost of politics; appreciates the work that Select Committees do but notes with alarm that there are 35 such committees where the Chair can receive 14,582 a year on top of their Parliamentary salary, a total of 510,370 a year; and believes that this cost is becoming untenable.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
