Through Their Speaker Talion77
Moves to Pass
The Speaker’s Office Act ​

Parliament notes:
(1) The Speaker doesn’t have authority to pay his staff, which is essential for the functioning of the Speakers Office.
(2) The Speakers powers in the Government Organization Act are ambiguous and should be clarified.


Based on this, Parliament decides:
(1) That the Speaker should have the authority to pay his staff.
(2) That the Speaker’s powers in the Government Organization Act should be clarified

To fulfil this, Parliament projects the following expenses:
(1) £3000 per month, to pay Parliamentary Staff

Further, Parliament projects the following administrative efforts:
(1) The Speaker will have to manually unfine their staff from the Parliament Account.

To implement the above, Parliament passes:
