This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Temporary Housing for Politicians
More details
Why does the tax payer need to buy a house for each constituency representative? Why can't the tax payer take over a small part of London (near Westminster) turn it in to flats that a Politician can live in during their time in London? This would save the need for tax payers to foot the bill every 5 years for a new property, which we never own.
Also each constituency outside of a 45min journey to Westminster should have a property that goes with the job.
After each change of MP the properties changes hands over to the new incumbent. This would save tax payers millions over the years.
Why should the tax payer be expected to foot the bill for property they never own?
