Tory MP Sir Nicholas Winterton insisted that MPs should be allowed to continue travelling first-class on trains because passengers in standard carriages are "a totally different type of people."In an astonishing outburst, Sir Nicholas said that people travelling on cheaper standard tickets had "a different outlook on life" and were unlikely to be working or studying during their journey. He said MPs deserved to be treated like businesspeople and senior public servants and should be allowed to claim for first-class travel between their constituencies and London so they can work.
