Stop expenses and reduce the £91,346 pay that MP earn

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To review all expenses by MPs this means every claim they put under expenses and to cut down the £91,346 pay that they earn. Surely this will reduce the £24 billion black hole labour keeps reminding us of.

As Labour stated that the finances are in disarray as they "inherited" from the last government. They need to look into their own government spending as the Prime Minister have said that we should all be in this together and tough times are ahead for everyone. Lately I haven't heard any news of MPs being affected by cuts.

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.
