End Fuel And Food Subsidies For MPs

What the petition asks

End all fuel and food subsidies for members of parliament

The cost of living is going up food prices and fuel bills members of parliament get subsidies for both regardless of having one of the highest wages in the UK. The working class people are paying more for services and necessities, in fact the price of everything is going up whiles wages remain under inflation and stagnant. The conservatives cut universal credit, and the 'help' offered for fuel is actually a loan. We demand an end to subsidies for MPs until genuine help if offered to everyone.

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.
