After a seven month long inquiry, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority has published its new rules governing MPs expenses.
In addition to their £65,000 annual salary, they will be able to employ one relative subject to ‘safeguards’, and claim £1,450 a month rent if they live more than 20 miles or one hour away from Westminster,
If the House sits after 11pm, they will be able to claim up to £15 for an evening meal and up to £80 to take a taxi home while others will be able to claim up to £130 to stay in a hotel overnight.
They will not be able to claim expenses without the proper receipts, and MPs will not be able to claim for mortgages. In future MPs will not be able to claim for first-class travel, and the golden ‘goodbyes’ are done away with.
It’s still not a bad job though is it?
