Rejected petition Scrap the second home allowance/expenses for ALL MPs.

MPs are doing work for the state and therefore the state should provide accommodation in a centralised secure location. Managed and owned by the state.

More details

This eliminates the possibility of erroneous expense claims for second homes and their upkeep. The UK tax payer does not loose money when second homes are sold for profit after funding for their second home improvements and renovations.
