Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Under the Ministers’ Pension Scheme Ministers, including the Prime Minister, accrue a part of their pensionable salary in each year they are a contributing member of the scheme, and have a normal pension age linked to their State Pension age. You can find out more about this scheme here: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn04586/
We could accept petitions calling for changes to the current scheme, if it was clear what changes you'd like to see.
