Petition Details

By providing accommodation that is public property, MP's would not benefit personally from payments for accommodation required while carrying out their parliamentary duties

Armed forces personnel, Police Officers, Council officials are not given accommodation, they are public sector workers, just as MP's are. Why should MP's benefit from personal financial gain, from a requirement of their job?
