Petition Action

Review allowances on MP’s second homes

Petition Details

Pay MP’s rent but no other allowances, such as heating, water, electricity, gas etc.

Additional Information

The Government have taken away winter heating allowance for many pensioners, which is very unfair and could cause the death of some in cold weather.
Why are MP’s being reimbursed household bills when they would be incurred wherever they were living?
