Abolish fuel payments for mps

Rejected 21 signatures

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.
