Lead by example and sacrifice MP travel expenses before disability benefits

The UK government is continuing to pursue it's austerity policy against disabled benefit claimants with the latest cuts targeting people's ability to travel independently. We call on the government to review its own travel expenses budget first and cut this before making any further benefit cuts.

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.
