Stop the increase of MP’s wages until we have results

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK is in crisis.

Our NHS is underfunded.

Our Public Sector is facing regular cuts.

And yet our MP’s are about to have a £2000 increase in wages.

Enough is enough.

Wage increase should be based on results, and until we see this let’s stop the wage increase.

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.
