I NOTED with interest the article about our MPs' expenses (October 29).
David Chaytor and Ivan Lewis's housing allowance each equates to approximately the same as providing nine council house tenancies or seven housing association tenancies.
Maybe our MPs should be provided with some difficult-to-let council flats in Hackney and given the opportunity to experience life amongst the workers at less cost to the rest of us!
