The UK Tax payer cannot afford to pay for Politicians Heating Allowance.
End Politicians claiming Heating Allowance, as they are paid enough to enable them to pay this expense themselves.
Government have withdrawn the Heating Allowance for pensioners due to a £22 Billion black hole. The Government states that it cannot afford to pay Pensioners the Heating Allowance. Therefore the Government are not able to pay Heating Allowance to highly paid public service Members of Parliament.
