Rules on MPs' expense compensation removed from Saeima's rules of procedure
Latvia's parliament, the Saeima, approved in the final reading amendments that remove the provision on compensation of MPs' expenses from its rules of procedure. The area is planned to be governed by a separate law instead.
The Saeima, Latvia's parliament, voted on Thursday, 22 October, to adopt in the final reading amendments to its rules of procedure. This is the document that sets out how the parliament organises its work. The amendments remove the provision that regulates compensation of MPs' expenses.
With this decision, the question of compensation for deputies' expenses will no longer be set out in the rules of procedure. The plan is for the area to be regulated by another law going forward.
The amendments were passed in the final, that is, last, reading. The source gives no further details on which law will govern the compensation, when it would take effect, or how the vote was split among deputies.
