Following allegations in The Daily Telegraph that Epping Forest Conservative MP Eleanor Laing has not paid £180,000 in capital gains tax after making a profit of £1 million on one of her homes, local Liberal Democrat Parliamentary campaigner Councillor Ann Haigh commented:



“Many residents, who themselves work long hours but still commute daily into London, are already questioning the need for our MP to have a second home.   If these new revelations are found to be correct, Eleanor Laing should do three things; repay the money straight away, apologise to her constituents and step down,  letting the residents of Epping Forest elect a MP they deserve“
