MPs should pay back all non-entitled expenses, not just part of them.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

As individual citizens we would have to pay back any money we are not entitled to by law. Logic dictates that we cannot have one law for MPs and another for the people. In the past I have seen that MPs have gotten away by paying about 5% of what they have over claimed.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
