End expenses for MP's second homes
Given the economic climate, and as the present government seem to have some difficulty balancing their books, I think MP's if they feel the need to have a second home pay for their own expenses. Apparently, some only live 50miles away? This is absurd. .

Background
Why?! I am sitting with a cardigan on and a blanket on in cold weather while they submit bills for over £2000 for a second home? The average bill is c£1800pa so why this amount for a second home? This is really beyond the mark.
