A large number of people think that there is never an appropriate time to improve Members' secretarial or other allowances. But I am certain that today of all days is not the best day to consider the matter.
The House of Commons is one of the houses of parliament. Here, elected MPs (elected by the "commons", i.e. the people) debate. In modern times, nearly all power resides in this house. In the commons are 650 MPs, as well as a speaker and three deputy speakers.
