Ministerial and other Maternal Allowances Bill

"My hon. Friend will know that a Minister is on the payroll of their Department, so in that sense they are more of an employee. There is a really interesting issue here that we will need to consider carefully, and it is that MPs are not employees. We have a …..."

Ministerial and other Maternal Allowances Bill

Ministerial and other Maternal Allowances Bill
