LABOUR Euro MP Brian Simpson returns to Brussels this week with a vow to stop the once a month trip to Strasbourg.
Currently MEPS and staff spend one week in four at Strasbourg and now Mr Simpson has added his voice to calls to stop the move.
"People can add their names to the online petition on www.oneseat.eu" said Mr Simpson, "and the goal is for one million signatures and already some 875,000 have been added.
"It would be excellent if the mass exodus to Strasbourg is ended, and I know that most of the MEPs, their staff and civil servants would welcome this"
