Mr. Speaker,
I know that what I shall say is redundant with the wishes of this bill but I must applaud Section 6 and 7 of this bill. Section 6 will prevent individuals from seeking higher office simple to be paid more since they will then lose their pay for the lower office and Section 7 will help ensure that Members of Parliament do not constantly raise their own salary without taking into account the possibility that they may lose reelection.

Mr. Speaker,
I must oppose this bill. I do not think that Members of Parliament or Privy Councillors or Under-Secretaries should receive any pay at all. By keeping these positions pay free we ensure that they do not become overly desirable simply to get a paycheck. It is my firm opinion that these positions should remain in their current form as unpaid, voluntary positions that a Noble seeks only in order to serve their nation rather than to get a paycheck.

Lord Henderson,
There must be pay other way the economy will fall. Should Kirkland become officially recognised sometime as an official nation then we need an economy.
Signed,
Lord Arlington
