"The Parliament will debate a motion on Members’ allowances on Tuesday 8 June. Aspects of this topics have proved to be controversial recently, especially the question of assistance for ‘constituency’ activities by constituency and regional MSPs. At the time of writing no motions have been published for the debate. A brief outline of the current pay and allowances schemes for MSPs was provided in a recent Subject Map, Parliamentary pay and allowances.1 This present Paper seeks to provide some more background to the current discussions, and outline some of the issues behind the recent controversy, those arising from the Parliament having Members elected by two different parts of the new voting system. This Paper should be read with the forthcoming companion Research Paper on financial assistance for registered parties. Although that issue is not currently before the Parliament formally, the question of a Scottish Parliament variant of the Westminster ‘Short money’  scheme has been much discussed recently, as part of the general debate on financial assistance towards the work of MSPs and their parties in the Parliament."
