Re: MP mortgage claims 'to be banned'

As far as I'm concerned, MPs should have a hostel/halls-of-residence type of accommodation where they all must stay. Everything's exactly the same in each flat. Things like electricity etc should be metered so their use is monitored. Anything above a certain quote of electricity must be paid for by the MP (stops them wasting electricity/water/gas needlessly). In this way, they can't 'claim' for anything since all their needs are met and they can pay for their own food like we all have to.

I totally agree.
Would however make a very good terrorist target though. Question is, aside from friends and family, would anyone be that bothered if it was taken out?

It's the shagging horror stories I'd be worried about :oops:

I believe this was an idea when the Thatcher government sold off the GLC building.

Oh well
