I seek leave to move without notice or debate a motion on MPs’ remuneration, which has been advised to all party leaders.

I move, That the members of this House, recognising that in the current economic situation Government revenue is reduced, many New Zealanders are losing their jobs or overtime, and more Government spending is required to invest in job creation and income support, agree to support a cross-party submission to the Remuneration Authority asking it to refrain from raising MPs’ salaries during the 2009 review and commit to revisiting this issue in 2010.
