Even if there was no Scottish parliament, these guys would still have to travel between.
What you're saying is that they are in the top bracket because they have the highest requirements.

Either that or they are travelling between both parliaments during the week when the English Mps spend the week in London so the expences are higher

Again why the need for both houses
If the scots ( and the Welsh\N Irish ) want their own assemblies then they should be using them wholesale

Devolution :hmm:

Just for fun, I clicked on that Swindon Borough link. Then clicked the link regarding purchasing private property.

"Due to a lack of resources, Swindon Borough Council is currently unable to consider voluntary acquisition of private property."

Then why the hell have a link to it at all? Rather telling.
