Start a petition to stop the MPs payrise

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Hopefully get enough signatures to stop yet another payrise to greedy MPs who let's face it, have not earned one! Whilst local authorities are constantly trying to save millions and making people redundant, that savings could go for extra police instead

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.
