Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the hon. Member for Perth and North Perthshire, representing the House of Commons Commission, whether the Commission has made an assessment of the effect of the travel restrictions in relation to covid-19 on trends in the level of the cost of MP’s travel to Westminster.

Issues relating to the costs of MPs’ travel to Westminster are a matter for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.

The Commission has ensured the Travel Office remains available to all members to facilitate their travel to and from Westminster and have made specific arrangements to ensure that accommodation is available where required.
