What the petition asks
Stop any MP's from using tax payers money to purchase refreshments and decorations during the festive period, as the costs of living is rising and people have to chose between heating and food.
I would like the M.P's to pay for their own parties as they get payed enough to do so unlike tax payers as the cost of living is rising.

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