I wonder how many other countries have a second chamber which the members are required to attend voluntarily ?

Is it any wonder that they then get inventive with their expenses ?

If the country needs the House of Lords, or any second chamber, then pay them, if not abolish it.

Some get paid a salary, most claim allowances and expenses.

Allowances and expenses are free from tax and NI

Those who claim the daily rate for attendance connected with appropriate Parliamentary work
claim £300 per day.
No transparancy at all. A gentlemans word is his bond......ho ho ho
