Ban MP's employing family members
Members of parliament paid their family members more than 3.7 million last year to do work on their behalf. Even if these were legitimate payments for work done, it has the appearance of being just another shady perk of being an MP.
We want both houses of parliament to cease this practice immediately. If any government department or quango were hiring family members it would be scandalous. It must stop.
