Then they rent out their own house, and live in the one you pay all the bills for.
This benefit scam needs to be stopped it's costing you millions.

Or is that a nasty rumour?
The level of abuse though is ridiculous

The flaws mentioned are:
Security risk with a large number of MPs in one area
Having multiple political parties in the same block
Lack of privacy for guests
Pretty much rubbish, they just don't want to.
They can travel easily from home.
Centrally placed.
No Bars of subsidised Restaurants!
Houses of Parliament is not fit for purpose.

Of course, it would be voted down in Parliament.
Only 650 MPs - surely an auditing office could rule on necessity.
I reckon a Premier Inn style accommodation could be provided near Westminster.
I'm glad he lost his seat, and that he's relegated to mcveys husband, but watch out for a reform comeback from him.
They have no shame.
