9 May 1995

Thank you for your acknowledgement of April 24 1995. I wish to offer a further suggestion re conditions of employment for MPs and that is for a full day's salary to be deducted for all cases of unofficial leave. In all my 50 years of working I was always deducted a full days wages for time off which had not been applied for and granted and I see no reason why MPs and others should not come under the same conditions. It would reduce absenteeism and also be a curb on those who are just along for the ride - and there are people like that in all occupations, parliamentarians included.
I trust this will be given serious consideration as we need a good example to the rest of the country.

W J Love
