MP Pensions halved.To pay back the 4billion wasted on no deal Brexit Preparation

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

In these times of austerity when people are going to food banks & finding it extremely hard to live a decent life, we got a government that can waste £4 billion of tax payers money on preparing for a no Deal Brexit when there was no intention of this ever happening!.

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 deciding on MPs' pay and pensions. This is the responsibility of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), which is independent of both Parliament and Government.
