Sir Geoffrey Cox rents out his London home while claiming £1,900 a month for a second property, it was reported last night.
The former attorney general even claimed £3,800 in taxpayer cash for his second London property for two months while he was working abroad in the Caribbean.
While not against Commons rules, an ex-standards chief said MPs earning cash overseas while claiming from taxpayers is ‘totally wrong’.
