THE St Albans MP's second home claims revealed in her the Review have been slammed by her political opponents.
Tory MP Anne Main lives in Buckinghamshire, but claims expenses for her second home in St Albans.
Roma Mills, the Labour parliamentary candidate for the district, said: “I can fully understand that people need to be able to get into London if you live a long way away from your constituency, so I understand you need somewhere to stay.
“But I am not sure that if you live in Buckinghamshire you need a second home in St Albans. A lot of MPs feel they should live in their constituency, but it seems a bit odd for her to have her main home in Buckinghamshire, it should be in St Albans.
“She actually lives near enough to remain a presence in her constituency for example attending meetings. It just does not stack up.”
