Consider reducing the number of recess days MPs get from parliament.
Currently MPS are away from parliament too often each year; this means in a crisis it costs tax payers a fortune if a recall is necessary; bring those days in line with, to quote the government, hard working people of the UK.
Who else gets holidays like this:
2016-17 session
Recess
House rises
House returns
Easter 24 March 2016 11 April 2016
Early May Bank Holiday 28 April 2016 3 May 2016
Whitsun 26 May 2016 6 June 2016
Recess 15 June 2016 27 June 2016
Summer 21 July 2016 5 September 2016
Conference 15 September 2016 10 October 2016
November 8 November 2016 14 November 2016
Christmas 20 December 2016 9 January 2017
Time MPS walked the walk rather than just talking the talk.
