Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In any case, allowances and expenses for Members of the House of Lords are matters for the House of Lords rather than the Government or Parliament as a whole. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
