  MPs' expenses - outer-London MPs can no longer claim second home
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  The majority of MPs voted for a motion, which read:[1]
  
  :With effect from 1 April 2010, no distinction shall be made for the purposes of the rules governing Members' allowances between an hon. Member who represents an inner-London constituency and an hon. Member who represents any other constituency the whole of which falls within 20 miles of the Palace of Westminster.
  
  This motion takes 49 outer-London constituencies out of the travel and second home allowance scheme.[2]
