There's no need for each MP to have a second home in London. All you need is a large 3-star hotel in London that is exclusively reserved for and used by provincial MPs when required in Parliament.
Neither does each MP need her/his individual team of staff.There could be a general pool of admin staff for backbenchers and a separate pool of staff used exclusively by ministers. The staff would all be civil servants covered by the Official Secrets Act and accountable to the public.
In this way costs are reduced; there are no accusations of nepotism;all transactions can be monitored by the National Audit Office and all monies can be accounted for.

Both silly ideas..
MP's dont pop to london for the odd day here and there, you cant expect them to live out of a suitcase.
Central admin would cause more problems than help - Same as it does in business, no account of your own priorities.
