Footnotes

1. Members inform Members Services of any change to their register of interests, gifts and hospitality or claim for expenses. There may be a time delay between the member doing this and the change being made to the details posted on the website. Therefore, the definitive version is that held by the MPA Monitoring Officer. [Back]

2. Annual allowances are paid monthly in equal instalments. Payments will cease immediately upon any member ceasing to be a member of the MPA or ceasing to hold a position that attracts an Special Responsibility Allowance. [Back]
