    Yes, howard but it does place those many MPs who also live within easy commuting distance and claim a second home allowance into stark contrast.

    Dont get me wrong, I am not against a second home allowance, as such, but the rules are clearly too loose as we can see from some abuses and need tightening. Bear in mind late night sittings, there may not always be a rail service to get MPs home. Also the circumstances of each MP is different and several of those above are wealthier, perhaps, than the average and may be able to afford a chauffer service when needed or have London bases they dont claim for. Incidentally, Adam Alfreya does not claim travel either, along with a few others who live closer to Westminster.

    It does demonstrate that not all MPs are in it for all they can get out of it.
