Provide barge ship accommodation for MPs and remove their second home allowance.
Provide "perfectly decent accomodation", for sitting MPs when in Westminister to reduce the burden placed on the public purse by the second home allowance.
The burden of accommodating MPs in second homes, when performing their public duties, shouldn't rest on the tax payer if perfectly decent accommodation can be provided. Therefore, in using barge ships, like the Bibby Stockholm, we the taxpayer would see significant reductions in unnecessary costs.
