Means test MPs second home allowances and all associated bills.
Means test MPs claims for a second home, plus all bills associated with the second home.
MPs get a decent enough salary to pay for their own accomodation when away from home. When I worked away from home I had to pay for my second home and all bills out of my salary. I wasn’t as well paid as MPs. Many MPs are quite wealthy, and are also with partners who are wealthy.
