Why can British politicians claim parliamentary expenses in addition to their salary?
The whole system of parliamentary expenses is highly controversial, and there is a lot of opinion surrounding whether MPs and indeed Lords should be allowed to claim expenses in addition to their salary (base of £65,738).
Expenses are intended for politicians to pay for their staff, travel and living arrangements when undertaking their office. Depending on the location of their constituency, MPs are likely to have two houses; one in their constituency, and one closer to Westminster. This is the main reason why MPs can claim a living allowance - travelling to and from Westminster on a daily basis would be extremely expensive and time-consuming.
