Emergency services and NHS to get same pay increase as MPs

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Emergency services and NHS staff serve the public as do MPs. They should all receive the same pay increases

MPs award themselves high and frequent pay rises. Emergency services and NHS staff when they finally get pay increases find they are no where near what MPs get
They all serve the public and should receive the same pay increases

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.
