Members’ remuneration and allowances
166.Paragraph 6 permits the payment of such remuneration and allowances (including expenses) to members as the Scottish Ministers authorise. This means that the level of this payment – if indeed any is authorised – is to be at the discretion of the Scottish Ministers. The term “member” here does not include co-opted members (see paragraph 7(11)) but remuneration and allowances for them are dealt with in paragraph 7.
