With all the fuss being made over the recent disclosures I thought I'd make a few suggestions for Mr Gordon "Bleeding Liar" Brown to mull over....
Primary Residence - MUST be within the defined boundaries of the sitting MP's constituency. If you don't live in the area you can't stand for the seat -- that should cut down some un-necessary travel.
Secondary Residence - NOT PERMITTED if the PRIMARY residence is within a 1 hour commute or 50 mile radius of the House of Commons.
Secondary Residence - MUST be within a commuting distance of the House of Commons NOT EXCEEDING 30% of the distance to the PRIMARY residence.
Commuting expenses NOT ALLOWED:-
1. Between Primary, secondary or any other residences owned by, rented to, leased to (or in any other way used by) the MP (i.e. not the ex-husband/wife's home, the girl/boy friend's home the mistress/lover's home). Same applies for any commercial property or business by whatever association (it earns a 2nd income so it can fund the travel).
2. Any travel claims between any of the properties identified in 1 above and the House of Commons on the grounds that normal working people have to pay their commuting costs so why should MP's be any different.
That'll do for starters....
