Removal of MPs second home allowance in favour of a London based halls of residence.
MPs allowance to purchase/rent a second home in and around London for them to attend the House of Commons should be removed. Instead use this money to build, run, protect and maintain a London based communal living “court of residence” which is owned by the tax payer.
Each MP who has a constituency outside of London is given a “comfortable” apartment/flat which has exactly the same square footage as one another for each MP to reside in while attending parliament.
This space can be decorated and furnished to their tastes as long as the cost is justifiable, approved before purchase and that the flat/apartment is returned to its original state once their residency is no longer required. This allows a transparent and publicly viewable usage of the tax payer’s money and should no longer allow flipping of homes, lavish expenditure on luxury items and a blatant waste of such a tight national budget.
Having the tax payers as the landlords might remind the MPs who they actually serve.
