Every MP should be means tested to receive heating allowance

Petition Details

The tax payer should not fund heating allowance for any MP unless they really need it

We want all allowances to be means tested like our pensioners

Additional Information

Means test allowances for all MP’s
Our older generation are means tested and have to choose to heat or eat so why should the tax payer fund two or three houses being heated for each MP
