Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
The resettlement grant should be retained for MPs who lose their seats at a general election, as the result of deselection or because of boundary changes. MPs who voluntarily stand down at a general election should no longer receive the grant. They should instead receive eight weeks’ pay from the date of the general election.
