What the petition asks
To acknowledge the fiscal difficulties faced by UK tax payers; the elderly and the vulnerable - and do the decent thing!
Because only you have the power to do what is right in this instance!
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.
