Not all Commission members are in receipt of fees; a number of members have waived their entitlement to fees and expenses. Others are ineligible to claim fees under the ‘one person, one salary’ principle.

The amounts paid to the individual commission members who are in receipt of fees are set out in the following table. Payments for 2016 represent payments made for Quarter 1 only.
