Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, review rises for MPS and Lords
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
To review the pay rises given to MPs and Lords with a view to reducing them given the cost of living payments / rises given to other workers.
Seems unfair that the government expects people to settle for less than they get. In this case a 7.1 per cent increase given NHS workers only got 5 per cent, how crass to expect something of others and not themselves.
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.
