The money referred to is not in any way remuneration. It’s to help and allow homeworking, for example providing laptops to Parliamentary staff who now have to deal with an enormous amount of increased casework from home and are working around the clock in order to help everyone who has been effected by the Coronavirus crisis. My constituents would not get a response to their emails or phone calls if this funding had not been put in place. Most Parliamentary staff work on PCs in the House of Commons or in constituency offices neither of which they can now access.
