The TSRB was asked on 31 May 1974 by the Prime Minister to review the current rates of allowances payable to Members of the House of Commons and to recommend the levels to which they should be increased.

This Report sets out the TSRB’s analysis and recommendations. The Government’s response is here: Members’ Allowances and Assistance for Opposition Parties - Hansard

The TSRB’s recommendations were also applied in part to Peers’ allowances - see further here: Peers’ Expenses and Allowances - Hansard
