Acting Labour Leader Michael Cullen
announced today that the Labour caucus had endorsed the
recent report on MPs’ remuneration and expenses.
“The
caucus accepts that the present system has to change to a
more transparent one. The proposed recommendations seem the
fairest possible approach and Labour will be supporting the
necessary legislation.
“I have advised the Speaker of the
House of Labour’s decision,” Dr Cullen said.
The changes
will be legislated for this term for application in the next
Parliament.
