Inquiry into the operation of the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009
20 July 2011
The Committee is to review the operation of the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009, which established the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA)
In particular it will consider how to ensure:
- value for money for taxpayers
- accountability
- public confidence in Parliament
- the ability of Members to fulfil their duties effectively
- fairness for less well-off Members and those with families
- that Members are not deterred from submitting legitimate claims
Written evidence addressing any or all of these issues is invited by Monday 3 October.
