In his Evidence John Stanley urges the Committee to end taxpayer funded mortgages for MPs’ second homes.

He says: “Over the years a significant number of MPs – only a few have so far been reported in the press – have made hundreds of thousands of pounds, net of capital gains tax, over and above their parliamentary salaries in this way. This is a potential windfall capital gain for MPs of truly huge proportions that the public, absolutely rightly in my view, will never accept is justified.”

“Taxpayer funded mortgages for MPs’ second homes must be ended” says John Stanley.
