Freeze MPs salaries alongside public sector workers salaries

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To discuss freezing MPs salaries alongside other public sector workers and then reinstate the salary raises when other public sector workers get a raise and at same percentage.

This is to be done so MPs are not only in this fight against coronavirus with the majority of the population but also to help balance the budget in the aftermath of the pandemic.

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 the issue you raise. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
