Article 7 Salaries, allowances and pensions for members
The Council–
shall pay to their members such salaries or fees, and such travelling, subsistence or other allowances, as the Secretary of State may determine; and
shall pay, or make such payments towards the provision of, such pensions to or in respect of any of their members as the Secretary of State may determine.
If a person ceases to be a member of the Council and it appears to the Secretary of State that there are special circumstances which make it right that he should receive compensation, the Secretary of State may direct the Council to make to that person a payment of such amount as the Secretary of State may determine.
A determination or direction of the Secretary of State under paragraph (1) or (2) requires the approval of the Treasury.
