To my mind it's fraud. If members of this forum committed fraud no doubt we could end up in jail, but not member of the house of lords it seems! Why should they be treated any differently?
Lord Paul is a multi millionaire, why is he even claiming expenses.
I also think it is laughable the the civil servant looking into the second homes business, has ruled that a peer can call it a main property if the visit it just once a month!! So what is the property they live in for the rest of month classified as, their main main property? It's unreal.
