At least 13 MPs have received windfalls worth thousands of pounds to give up their right to cheap rent in a deal that led to taxpayers paying substantially more for their second homes.
The Dolphin Square estate in Westminster — originally owned by the council — had for many years provided low-cost accommodation for dozens of MPs. However, after the estate was bought by a private company, all tenants were offered a lump sum in exchange for either moving out, or paying a higher rent.
Many MPs accepted the windfalls and stayed in the flats while the taxpayer picked up their higher rental bills.
At least one MP is said to have taken a “six-figure sum” to move out.
MP's who helped fuck over the taxpayer: Joan Humble, Dai Havard, David Lidington, Paul Holmes, Sir Patrick Cormack, Sir Menzies Campbell, David Wright, Sir Alan Beith, Tony Wright (Great Yarmouth ), Andy Burnham, Richard Younger-Ross, Sandra Gidley, John Barrett.
