Leader of the House
WRITTEN MINISTERIAL STATEMENT
Audit and Assurance of MPs' Allowances
Following debates in July, I published a consultation document, "Audit and Assurance of MPs' Allowances" (Cm7460) on 5 August, 2008. It outlines proposals for further action to improve the financial control and audit of the system of allowances claimed by MPs. Copies of the document are available at www.commonsleader.gov.uk. I have requested that MPs submit their responses by Monday, 29 September 2008. |
