I see the 'speaker' is trying to block disclosure of those MPs and ministers that are renting out their 2nd homes to other MPs etc.
Wait a minute, WE are paying for those homes, if the MP isn't using it why is he allowed to claim the money for it??
Never mind if it is going to another MP or minister, it shouldn't be rented out to ANYONE. If they are to be allowed to rent out, the money should be paid back to the exchequer!
Part of the Olympic housing block ought to have been reserved for MPs & ministers and nobody then would be able to claim for a house in London.
And, it is time MPs & ministers were banned from using their political posts to jack up their incomes and pensions, whilst maintaining directorships etc. with multi-nationals etc.
There is a direct conflict of interests and the time WE pay them to be our representatives in Parliament.
No wonder the only time you will see a full house in Westminster is PMQs.
What is required is a 'time & motion' study on the day to day operations of a MP & minister.
