This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009, IPSA became responsible for creating a new system to pay MPs expenses and is now responsible for running and regulating that system. IPSA's operating costs in 2010-11 were £6.4 million, its staff is now reduced from 88 to around 60. Between May 2010 and March 2011, IPSA processed 134, 696 separate claim lines, paying out some £118 million. This report examines the value for money that IPSA has achieved. It concludes that whilst the new scheme is clearly preventing misuse of money, IPSA did not initially have sufficient regard to the impact its scheme was having on the ability of MPs to fulfil their duties. IPSA needs to accelerate streamlining of its own procedures and give greater priority to minimising costs necessarily falling to MPs

This book was released on 2011-09-23 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the first year of implementation of the MPs' expenses scheme, and proposals for improving service levels in the future. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) was established in the wake of the 2009 crisis in public confidence on MPs' expenses. IPSA established itself quickly and introduced a functioning expenses system on time in May 2010. Since then, IPSA has also been paying the salaries of MPs and their staff. Expenses have been paid within the rules, and MPs have been reimbursed accurately. In 2010-11, IPSA paid out over £118 million in total, comprising £98.6 million in salaries for MPs and their staff, and £19.5 million in MPs' expenses. IPSA assesses that 99.7% of all claims made by MPs are within the rules it has set. But its expenses scheme is expensive to administer and is not yet demonstrating value for money. Overall, 38% of claims submitted in 2010-11 were for less than the average cost IPSA incurs to process them. The Committee is also concerned about the lack of clear, easily accessible guidance for MPs and their staff, and the cumbersome nature of some processes, such as payment card reconciliation. There are two remaining issues which IPSA needs to address. Public confidence could be improved further if IPSA made clearer public statements about approved claims being wholly within the rules. And salaries should be separated from true expenses.
Download or read book Parliamentary Standards Bill written by House of Commons and published by Stationery Office/Tso. This book was released on 2009-06-23 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Parliamentary Standards Bill will establish a new Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) as a body corporate. IPSA will have functions in relation to MPs' salaries, allowances and financial interests. The IPSA will take over paying the salaries of MPs in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the House of Commons. It will be responsible for drawing up the MPs' allowances scheme, drawing on the outcome of the current work of the Committee on Standards in Public Life in reviewing those allowances. IPSA will prepare financial interest rules, including some matters currently covered by the MPs' Code of conduct. The Bill will also establish a separate Commissioner for Parliamentary Investigations to investigate breaches of the rules on allowances and financial interests. IPSA will have a range of sanctions available in response to a Commissioner's report. It may direct the repayment of allowances which have been incorrectly paid; it may direct the MP to amend his or her entries in the register of financial interests. And it may recommend further action to the Committee on Standards and Privileges such as withholding an MP's salary for a period or suspending or expelling that MP. The Bill will create new criminal offences of knowingly providing misleading information in a claim for an allowance, failing to comply with the rules on registration, and of breaching the rules which prohibit paid advocacy.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) published a consultation on MPs' expenses in January 2010 (ISBN 9780108508806). After considering the responses, IPSA here sets out the new scheme for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by MPs in doing their work. Its underlying principles are based on those proposed by the Committee of Standards in Public Life (12th report, Cm. 7724, ISBN 9780101772426) with supplementary standards from IPSA. The scheme aims to be fair, workable and transparent. Transparency is critical if public confidence in Parliament is to be restored, and this underlies the basing of the scheme on expenses rather than on an allowances based system. Expenses will be reimbursed on presentation of a receipt or other evidence of expenditure. Chapters cover: process for making claims; process for the determination and review of claims; general conditions; accommodation expenses; London area living payment; travel and subsistence expenses; staffing expenditure; constituency office rental expenditure; general administrative expenditure; winding-up expenses; miscellaneous expenses. The new scheme is to be operational for the new Parliament following the forthcoming general election.
