Procedures for Investigations

The Procedures for Investigations for the Compliance Officer are determined by IPSA under section 9A of the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009.

They apply to an investigation conducted by the Compliance Officer to determine whether an MP may have been paid an amount under the Scheme of MPs' Staffing and Business Costs that should not have been allowed.

The Compliance Officer will follow these Procedures in the conduct of their investigations.
