Obviously if it's for personal use at home then they can GTF and cough it up out their own pocket like everyone else.
Wouldn't that be one licence for the whole of Parliament though? Are these TV licences for 2nd houses? or for there own houses?
I meant a TV for their constituency office. Pretty sure in The Thick Of It they often depicted the MP's staff switching on the office telly to watch some scandal unfolding, etc.
