Ban MPs from claiming Christmas parties as part of their expenses.
In the current economic crisis it is not acceptable for the tax payer to pay for Christmas parties for MPs. This money could be diverted elsewhere with much better measurable impact on the welfare of the country.
With families struggling to pay household bills this is not the right time to start paying for luxuries that the majority of the general public cannot afford.
