Details

The TSRB was asked on 28 June 1982 by the Prime Minister to undertake a comprehensive review of parliamentary pay and allowances covering: the salaries of Members of Parliament, Ministers and other office holders; the allowance available to MPs for secretarial and research assistance; the severance pay and pension arrangements for MPs; the Peers’ expenses allowance; and the secretarial allowance for Ministers and other paid office holders in the House of Lords.

This Report sets out the TSRB’s analysis and recommendations. The Report was published on 12 May 1983, however the Government’s response was not announced until 14 July 1983.
