Letter from Marcial Boo, October 2014:<\/em><\/p>As Chief Executive of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking about the criteria for additional staffing expenditure budget.<\/p>
The MPs\u2019 Scheme of Business Costs and Expenses<\/em> sets out the criteria for contingency funding in Chapter 10. We consider applications for additional funding for staffing or non-staffing costs on a case-by-case basis and take into account the following criteria:<\/p>- whether there are exceptional circumstances warranting additional support;<\/li>
- whether the MP could reasonably have been expected to take any action to avoid the circumstances which gave rise to the expenditure or liability; and<\/li>
- whether the MP's performance of his or her parliamentary functions would be significantly impaired by a refusal of the claim.<\/li><\/ul>

We have not conducted such a comparative estimate.<\/p>
Under the MPs\u2019 Scheme of Business Costs and Expenses<\/em>, MPs may choose where to locate their staff, based on how they wish to carry out their parliamentary functions. If an MP chooses to base some or all of his or her staff in the constituency, the costs associated with office rental may be charged to the MP\u2019s Office Costs Expenditure budget (administered and paid for by IPSA). Costs associated with provision of an office on the Parliamentary estate are borne by the House of Commons centrally.<\/p> <\/p>"}
