Sunlight COPs Submission published on the Standards in Public Life Committee website

Posted on Jun 16, 2009 in blog, frontpage, Kelly Report

The Sunlight COPs submission on MPs expenses has been uploaded onto the Standards in Public Life Committe website.

Only the best submissions have been uploaded onto the website after Sir Christopher Kelly invited evidence from all interested parties.

The Sunlight Centre for Open Politics makes income comparisons both internationally and against average UK earnings and consequently argues for no increase in MPs’ expense allowances or pay. The Sunlight Centre submission can be viewed here.

The report, "Disinfecting Parliament" provides a tough benchmark by which to judge Sir Christopher Kelly's recommendations. It includes proposals to pay MPs' expenses from a single bank account with public statement, to give MPs housing in the Olympic village, and to let the press and public into the hallowed halls of Parliament.
