Recommendation
We note that the last Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) of IPSA’s Scheme of MPs’ Staffing and Business Costs was published in 2017 and its intention to conduct an EIA alongside the next comprehensive review of the scheme, no later than 2024. We recommend that IPSA ensures the EIA is comprehensive and fully in line with the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s guidance on complying with the Public Equality in the heart of democracy: A gender sensitive House of Commons 45 Sector Equality Duty. We further recommend that IPSA consider as part of its 2024 Corporate Plan the case for conducting more frequent EIAs of the scheme as and when significant changes are made between comprehensive reviews.
