One rule for them one for us?
ITN - Sunday, June 22 08:29 amMPs could be in line for a pay rise of about £40,000 a year in return for scrapping their controversial second homes allowance.

The top-up to MPs' current £61,820 salary would be worth about £24,000 after tax.
The move is one of three options to be put before MPs by an internal review of parliamentary expenses headed by Commons Speaker Michael Martin.
It would effectively remove the onus on MPs to justify their expenses claims and hand extra cash to those who do not currently claim the full amount.
But it is likely to run into fierce opposition following recent abuses of the expenses system and voters' scepticism about the pay and perks available to their Westminster representatives.
A typical MP would be £4,500 a year better off as the average claim under Additional Costs Allowance is £19,500.
MPs' expenses have come under harsh scrutiny in recent months since the Derek Conway controversy after he was reprimanded by Commons authorities for paying his student son nearly £40,000 to be a researcher.
