<p>I have asked IPSA to provide this reply.</p><p>IPSA is the statutory body responsible

regulating and paying the salaries of staff members who work for MPs.</p><p> </p><p>Each
MP is allocated a budget from which their staffing costs are paid. The current staffing
budget for MPs in London constituencies is £166,930; and for non-London MPs, the budget
