Have a fresh Independent Inquiry into MP's Salaries, Expenses and Standards.

What the petition asks

Restore the faith of the electorate in MP's and Government. Have a fresh and thorough Independent Inquiry into MP's Salaries, Expenses and Standards commissioned.
Little seems to have changed since the MP's expenses scandal and inquiry of 2009. The level of trust in MP's and Government is possibly as low as it was 22 years ago and is currently almost daily headline news. A new inquiry is well overdue.
