To ask the hon. Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, representing the Members Estimate Committee, when it was determined to shred documentation on expenses claims submitted by hon. Members before 2010; and at what committee or decision-making body such a decision was taken.
To ask the hon. Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, representing the Members Estimate Committee, when it was determined to shred documentation on expenses claims submitted by hon. Members before 2010; and at what committee or decision-making body such a decision was taken.
The House of Commons Commission (which was responsible for Members Estimate matters prior to the establishment of the Members Estimate Committee in 2004) agreed at its meeting of 21 October 2002 to implement a retention policy for financial papers, which would entail detailed claims, receipts, invoices and warrants being retained for three years after the end of the year of the transaction. This included documentation relating to Members’ allowances. The policy was incorporated into the Authorised Records Disposal Practice (ARDP) produced by the Parliamentary Archives and made available to Members and staff of both Houses on the parliamentary intranet in 2004. Decisions made by the House of Commons Commission and the Members Estimate Committee are published on the Parliament website.
Destruction of these records was paused in 2010 pending the conclusion of police inquiries, but was restarted on the previous basis in 2012 once legal proceedings were concluded. The only documentation destroyed in the last 12 months in relation to Members’ expenses has been background information to support claims, which was no longer needed after the 2010 general election when the House ceased to be responsible for expenses claims. This was done in April 2014.
While the original financial documents relating to MPs’ expenses were destroyed in compliance with the Authorised Records Disposal Policy (ARDP), more than a million documents and receipts, with some personal information redacted, were published online and subsequently updated. This information remains available on the Parliament website at: http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/members-allowances/house-of-commons/.

The winding-up expenditure allowance was designed to meet the cost of completing the outstanding parliamentary duties, and to meet outstanding contractual obligations, of a person who ceased to be a Member of Parliament.
222 Members stood down or lost their seat at the 2010 general election, and total expenditure was just over £7 million. The large majority of this was in respect of contractual payments to employees, such as redundancy pay and pay in lieu of notice. Other expenditure included costs associated with closing down constituency offices, outstanding utility bills and destruction of confidential waste. 97% of winding-up expenditure was paid directly to employees or suppliers of goods and services: The remaining 3%—approximately £230,000—was paid to former Members for costs they had met from personal resources and for which they were entitled to reimbursement.
No Member has paid back any of the sums paid.
