Stop MPs Office parties being paid for by public monies or claims for expences.

With the current and ongoing financial crisis reaching all sections of society and especially low and middle income people and people with physical and mental conditions, it seems an insult to use public finances to pay for such trivial events.

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.
