All MP'S expense claims to become public knowledge and published...

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

MP's claim exorbitant amount for little things there is no check other than their own.. This would be totally outrageous in any other walk of life..

Why it was rejected

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

The Government and Parliament aren't responsible for MPs' expenses. That responsibility was given by Parliament to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) in 2010.

MPs' expense claims are already published. You can find out more on the following website:

If you would like IPSA to publish more information, you could write to them directly to suggest this:
