(This note is not part of the Order)
Salaries otherwise payable to the Mayor of London or Assembly members of the Greater London Authority are reduced by the Greater London Authority (Limitation of Salaries) Order 2008 (the 2008 Order) if they also receive a salary under section 1 of the European Parliament (Pay and Pensions) Act 1979 by virtue of membership of the European Parliament. With effect from 14 July 2009 salaries have been paid directly by that Parliament under Article 9 of the Statute for Members of the European Parliament to all UK MEPs who did not opt to retain payment of salary under the 1979 Act.
This instrument amends the 2008 Order to ensure that Mayoral and Assembly salaries are reduced irrespective of the source of any salary received by virtue of membership of the European Parliament.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
1999 c. 29. Section 25 was amended by S.I. 2011/3048.
S.I. 2000/1032 amended by S.I. 2008/724.
