MP's to forfeit 2.7% pay rise and reinvest total back into NHS

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

We the undersigned believe that if the UK Government insist on restricting the pay rise of front-line NHS workers to merely 1%, then all MPs should forfeit their own right to a pay rise for the next three years and reinvest this back into public services which are under funded.

Why it was rejected

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