Stop MPs claiming back their TV licence on expenses
With the BBC about to stop at least half of all over 75 years old pensioners getting free TV licences, is it fair that MPs should be able to claim it back?
removing this allowance from MPs would save over £100,000 and bring back some fairness into the TV licence at a time when pensioners are struggling financially
