Rejected petition Introduction of Bill.

Introduce a Bill to effect the necessary legislation to force MPs who have rented out property in London purchased via expenses gained from the taxpayer to immediately repay all monies to the Treasury.

More details

Because whilst it is acceptable for public servants to be reimbursed for expenses incurred whilst performing their duties, it is immoral for MPs to acquire a property portfolio and/or a source of income at the taxpayers' expense, especially when said property is not being used by the MP.
