Stop paying members of the Northern Ireland Assembley if they refuse to meet.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

All members of the Northern Ireland assembley should have their wages stopped if they refuse to meet and do the job the public are paying them to do, this money can then be put to health and educational needs.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The salaries of MLAs are determined by the Independent Financial Review Panel. You can find out more about the IFRP here:
