What the petition asks
MPs receive a public funded salary yet there is a lack of accountability and scrutiny of whether they are carrying out the job satisfactorily.
MPs need a formal contract, setting out their contracted hours, how they are meant to conduct themselves with their constituents as well as at Parliament.
