Prorogation expenses
Dear Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority,
It has been reported that when the prorogation was ruled to have not taken place that IPSA refused to pay for MPs to come back to the UK. However IPSA later changed it's decision.
Can you tell me?
1. Who took those decisions?
2. Can you publish any communication between IPSA, MPs and any other interested parties in this regard?
3. How much is this likely to cost?
4. Also can you tell me why has IPSA agreed to pay for family members to come back with MPs when they could come back at the time they were meant to without any costs to the taxpayer?
5. Is this just for MPs and their families or does it include other essential staff? If so which staff?
6. Are there any other costs? If so what are they?
Yours faithfully,
Abdul Hai
