What the petition asks
Our country is currently struggling massively, floods in lots of areas, the NHS needs more funding, council funding looks set to be cut and we’ve more children in poverty than ever before, why do the “independent parliamentary standards authority” feel a pay rise is needed by those already in £80Kpa
Stop the pay rise and donate the money to a charity 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 MPs' pay. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
