Peers are poised to hike their 'overnight' allowances by 20 per cent - and will be able to claim £63 to stay in their own London properties.
The ruling Lords commission is recommending ramping up entitlements on top of the tax-free £371 'per diem' members get for attending sittings.
Those who declare their main residence is outside the capital are set to be able to claim £125 per night towards hotels - or private clubs - instead of the £103 at present.
Nearly 100 peers received £57,000 worth of overnight allowances in December, the most recent month where figures have been released.
Meanwhile, those who own second properties in London will be able to get taxpayer cash to use them for the first time. That will start at £63 a night.
