MPs and Ministers and the PM to take a short term pay cut to help fund the NHS

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We feel to help fund the NHS and help Doctors, Nurses and Careers get the PPE they need and whilst MPs, work from home we ask they help by taking a temporary pay cut as some the highest paid in society we feel it will help fund extra into health care at a time it is needed most

Having seen the New Zealand PM take a pay cut and lead the way in the western world we ask our Parliament to take a temporary pay cut whilst they work from home and also ask they don’t use the £10k expenses budget they have been given at this time so more funding can go to the vital NHS cause during our fight against this virus and we all stay home saving lives, please take a pay cut for the short term?

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
