Mr. Speaker: Does the hon. Member for Beckenham (Mrs. Lait) wish to press amendment (j)?
Mrs. Lait: I am minded to do so.
Mr. Speaker: I should mention that if her amendment were agreed, I would not be able to put the question on amendment (o). Does the hon. Lady realise that?
Mrs. Lait: I have had no discussions with the mover of amendment (o).
Mr. Soley: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I was not approached by the hon. Member for Beckenham (Mrs. Lait). If I had been, I would certainly have recommended that she did not press her amendment to a vote, because then the other amendments will fall and that is not—I believe—the feeling of the House.
Mr. Speaker: Having heard the hon. Member for Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush (Mr. Soley), what is the hon. Lady's intention?
Mrs. Lait: Having heard the hon. Gentleman's comment, I shall not press the amendment, but I hope that its substance will be addressed by the Leader of the House.
Amendments made: (o) to the motion on members' allowances, insurance &c, in paragraph (2)(c), leave out from 'above' to 'these' and insert:
- 'should not in any financial year exceed—
(ii) £60,000 in the case of any other Member, plus £3,500 in respect of each full-time (or full-time equivalent) staff person employed by that Member whose duties are wholly or mainly required to be performed within Greater London, provided that the aggregate sum payable in respect of any Member shall not exceed £70,000.'.
(d) in paragraph (2)(d), leave out '£14,000' and insert '£18,000'.—[Mr. Soley.]
Amendment proposed: (l), at end of paragraph (f), insert—
'(h) that Members should be consulted on their IT needs and requirements before any contracts are let centrally; that the central purchase of any IT equipment should be subject to public procurement requirements; that a wide range of provision is offered and updated as required by each Member and that Members should have access to more than one IT support service of their own choosing.'.—[Mrs. Lait.]
Question, That the amendment be made, put and negatived.
Amendment proposed: (e) in paragraph (2), at end insert—
'(2A) The House of Commons Additional Costs Allowance should be increased by the same proportion as that proposed for the House of Lords Overnight Allowance under Recommendation 16 of the Review Body on Senior Salaries Report No. 48.'.—[Mr. Betts.]
