Controversy Over Grace-And-Favour Homes

LONDON - MAY 31: A path leads to Chevening House, the country house which is an official residence of the British Foreign Secretary on May 31, 2006 in Kent, England. Controversy over grace-and-favour homes given to senior British cabinet ministers continues to grow following damaging revelations by Tracey Temple, the former lover and diary secretary of Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, about their two-year affair in which she is alleged to have enjoyed perks and privileges at the taxpayer's expense.
