Stop tax payers funding MP's expenses.

Why should the tax payer fund expenses for MP's when they earn such a significant salary that allows them to afford comfortably food and drink.

The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting MPs' pay or expenses. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

MPs may claim for the cost of purchasing food and non-alcoholic drinks where they have stayed overnight outside the London Area and their constituency. This is limited to £25 for each night they have stayed, but the claims can be for purchases made during the day.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
