A BOLTON Euro-MP is hoping to save taxpayers more than £100 million a year by campaigning for the European Parliament to be based at a single site.
Chris Davies is one of nine MEPs who have founded the Campaign for Parliament Reform calling for the elected chamber to be given a full-time base in Brussels.
The group, which now claims the support of 90 parliamentarians from 13 different countries, wants to abandon the Parliament's home in Strasbourg which is used for just four days every month.
The Liberal Democrat believes that a fortune can be saved by ending the monthly movement of more than 3,000 MEPs, assistants and interpreters between Belgium and France.
He said: "A huge majority of MEPs want to change the ridiculous travel arrangements."
