Mp Rentals

[QuizmasterG]

If two different MPs each own properties in London, is it legal for them to rent the properties to each other and claim each of the rents back on their expenses?

Are there any parliamentary rules against doing this?

Surely there's no need for such a rule covering honourable members.

Straight arrows to a man and woman.

As far as I know they cannot claim rental expenses in London if they own a home in London.

They claim expenses if they need a second home in their constituency so theoretically MP A could own a home up north up and rent it to property B who is MP for Newcastle; and MP B could rent a property to MP A whose constituency is in Coventry

Both MPs in my example own properties in London
