Rejected petition No 2nd homes for MPs who can commute to London from their constituency

More details

In order to save taxpayer's money, MPs who can commute into London from their constituency should not have 2nd homes in London.

People commute into London from different parts of the country on a daily basis, and these people would be a good gauge for what would be an acceptable distance to commute.

Those houses which are no longer used could then be put on the private market for sale, and the receipts of those sales could be to put back into Treasury funds.
