Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Members of Parliament (Remuneration and Services) Bill to return the responsibility of determining travel and accommodation services to the Remuneration Authority, rather than the Speaker, as provided for in the Bill as introduced. Handing over the responsibility to the Remuneration Authority is a good step towards a transparent system that the public can have confidence in.
