Rejected petition MPs claiming for second homes

More details

Before enacting the so-called 'bedroom tax' the Govt. should ensure that MPs only claim the cost of a one-bedroom property. That should be sufficient for their use while the House is in session. If they want something larger they should pay the difference out of their own pockets.
