Harriett Baldwin asks the Leader of the House when responsibility for MPs' pensions will be transferred to IPSA. Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con): Following Monday’s short debate on Members’ pensions, does the Leader of the House plan to make a statement about when he intends to sign the order transferring responsibility for our pensions to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority for ever? Sir George Young: I have signed the commencement order following the unanimous decision of the House on Monday to transfer responsibility for pensions to IPSA. IPSA now has responsibility for pensions, allowances and pay, and I think that that is the right place for all those things to be. | Hansard
