These related to MPs' claims dating back to 2004/05 and up to 2007/08. These pages have been updated to include information about claims made for costs incurred when staying away from the MPs' main home in 2008/09 and the first quarter of 2009/10.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111225030552/http://mpsallowances.parliament.uk/mpslordsandoffices/hocallowances/allowances-by-mp/">Expenses by MP</a></p> <p>The IPSA website also includes a searchable database of MPs' expenses on their website.

For example, the Speaker and the Chairs of Select Committees receive an extra salary.</p> <p>Most MPs who are also ministers in the Government are paid an extra ministerial salary.</p> <h2>MPs' pensions</h2> <p>There is a contributory pension scheme for Members of the House of Commons to which MPs can contribute either 11.9%, 7.9% or 5.9% of their parliamentary salary.</p> <h2>Payments to Opposition parties</h2> <p>Some money is paid to those political parties represented in Parliament who are not in government. This is to help ensure that the Opposition and minority parties have enough funds to carry out their parliamentary role and to put across their views.</p> <p>The amount given to each party depends on how many people voted for them at the last general election and how many of their candidates were elected. In the House of Commons this is known as 'Short Money'; in the House of Lords it is known as 'Cranborne money'.</p> </div> </div> <!-- Stop Indexing --> </div> </div> <div id="panel"> <div class="local-module"> <!-- Start Indexing --> <h2>Related information</h2> <!-- Stop Indexing --> <div class="local-module-content"> <div class="itemImageWithTitle"> <a id="ctl00_ctl00_SiteSpecificPlaceholder_ctlRightHandModuleContainer_ctl00_rptLocalModuleItems_ctl00_ctlLocalModuleItem_hypLink"><!-- Start Indexing --> <strong>House of Commons Information Office</strong> <!-- Stop Indexing --></a> </div> <div class="itemText"> <!-- Start Indexing --> <div class="rte main-introduction"> <ul> <li>Telephone: 020 7219 4272</li> <li>Email: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111225030552/mailto:hcinfo@parliament.uk">hcinfo@parliament.uk</a></li> <li>Text phone: Dial 18001 followed by 020 7219 4272</li> <li><a href="/web/20111225030552/http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/offices/commons/hcio/">House of Commons Information Office</a></li></ul> <p><strong>Publications</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20111225030552/http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/guides/">Guides to Parliament</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20111225030552/http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/commons/weekly-information-bulletin/">Weekly Information Bulletin</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20111225030552/http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/commons/sessional-information-digest/">Sessional Information Digest</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20111225030552/http://www.parliament.uk/about/faqs/house-of-commons-faqs/">FAQs</a><br/><br/></li></ul> </div> <!-- Stop Indexing --> </div> </div> </div> <div class="local-module"> <!-- Start Indexing --> <h2>Related information</h2> <!-- Stop Indexing --> <div class="local-module-content"> <div class="itemImageWithTitle"> <a id="ctl00_ctl00_SiteSpecificPlaceholder_ctlRightHandModuleContainer_ctl01_rptLocalModuleItems_ctl00_ctlLocalModuleItem_hypLink"></a> </div> <div class="itemText"> <!-- Start Indexing --> <div class="rte main-introduction"> <p> </p><div> <p> <strong>Short Money</strong>: Short Money is the common name given to the annual payment to Opposition parties in the House of Commons to help them with their costs.
