MPs' Expenses Consultation
This consultation seeks views on the content and administration of a new MPs’ expenses scheme.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is a new statutory body, independent from Parliament, Government and political parties. It was established by the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009, which passed into law on 21 July 2009.
Parliament legislated to establish IPSA in response to the public outcry following revelations relating to the claims made under the existing expenses and allowances scheme for MPs.
