Finance (No. 3) Bill

I do not wish to disturb my hon. Friend's flow, but is he aware that I was informed by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority the other day that I could not raise any of my staff's salaries, even though they have been the same for a year, because they are public servants? If I wanted to give them any reward for exceptional service, the maximum I was allowed to give was a £15 token each year for a meal. Where can anyone get a meal for £15 around here? It is absolutely disgraceful, when such sums are being given out to the bankers.
