Reduce the amount of public money MPs & civil servants can claim on trips.
Severely cut the amount of public money that MP's & government employees / officials can spend on travel, hotel bills & meals etc. There should at the very least be a low cap on how much can be claimed in any one year.

Background
During this period of financial hardship where pensioners have had winter fuel benefits cut, businesses have been hit with NI increases & the government is looking for ways of decreasing the welfare bill by making it more difficult to claim benefits like PIP it is immoral & totally wrong that people like the Speaker of the House, MP's & Civil Servants can spend hundreds of thousands of pounds each year on plush hotels, lavish meals & 1st class travel. This extravagance must end.
