Ian McCord Petitions Downing Street

Ian McCord SNC Counciillor

Ian McCord has launched a petition to the Prime Minister to convert the London 2012 Olympic Village Accommodation into living accommodation for MPs.

   
The petition reads:

     We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Convert the
     London 2012 Olympic Village Accommodation into Living
     accommodation for Members of Parliament and end their second
     home allowance.


     Members of Parliament who live outside London need somewhere to
     stay.  The second home allowance is very controversial.

     London 2012 will have an Olympic Village for the competing
     athletes and will be equipped with modern security facilities.
     The infrastructure will be in place to provide safe a secure
     accommodation.

     We can end the MP second home allowance and provide each with a
     high standard apartment.  As the MP changes the apartment gets
     a new occupant.  Any MP is free not to take up the apartment
     and fund their living arrangements from their own resources.

     London 2012 is being funding via public money. This will give
     the site a real legacy and help restore faith in Members of
     Parliament once again.

Just what we, and many others, had been thinking.

Let's spread the word and make these MP's listen.
