Twenty-four MPs with seats in Greater London claimed almost £400,000 of public
money to fund second homes last year.
Two Labour MPs with neighbouring constituencies in west London, Alan and Ann
Keen, a junior health minister, have claimed more than £175,000 in
allowances since 2002 even though their family home in her constituency is
less than 10 miles from parliament.
Andrew Rosindell, Tory MP for Romford in Essex, claimed £22,110 last year even
though the train from Romford to Liverpool Street takes less than 30
minutes. Rosindell, who was also unavailable for comment, bought a flat in
Southwark, across the Thames from Westminster, for £325,000 in 2002.
