Each MP will be loaned a small apartment large enough to live comfortably and work from and which is then transferred over to their successor when they leave Parliament or lose an election. The taxpayer remains the owner of the property and not the individual MP.\r\n\r\nIf individual MPs, who can afford it, wish to buy their own property in London with their own money, that is their right.\r\n","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2012-08-29T11:50:20.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:23.009Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:39:15.992Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-08-29T11:50:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
