I've heard that to save £500k next financial year, the MPS have not budgeted for their fee they pay for staff to have free travel. Does this mean we're going to lose it?

I didn't realise the met paid for it, I thought you wewre given free travel to get you onto public transport so you could help if it went pear shaped.
I've looked on the intranet about this and it's been confirmed as false.

We pay for it in our tax code aswell
