Abolish fuel payments for mps
Rejected

What the petition asks
Scrap mps fuel payments as they have scrapped the much needed pensioners winter fuel allowance.
Pensioners rely on their winter fuel payments. MPs are paid handsomely. This reeks of double standards
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.
