RedBox lists all of the Labour and other MPs who also voted to keep the second home allowance, as it is properly called.

Mr Cameron has rightly attacked Gordon Brown for not leading on this issue but it is disappointing that three four frontbenchers/ whips (Gerald Howarth, Andrew Rosindell and Angela Watkinson and Eleanor Laing) and most notably of all Andrew Mackay, the key fixer within his private office, ignored the call he made at the MPs' recent away weekend for the party to be most reformist when it came to parliamentary allowances.
