The big difference being that for 6 months that could be London and then the next 6 months could be Edinburgh
    Made this very point to them in our T&S submission:

    "During the 2014-15 session the House of Commons sat for 133 days; if you exclude holidays (34 days) and the summer recess (35 days) this means that MP’s should have been in attendance for 133 days from a possible 191 days.[Source:Hansard] This would appear to meet the definition of a permanent workplace and yet MP’s home to Westminster (Work) travel will not be affected by this proposed change in legislation; so much for a ‘level’ playing field!"
