Rejected petition MPs as public sector workers should be getting performance related pay

As a public sector workers such as teachers get paid on their performance, only with the chance of a 1% rise, but can get less pay if they don't perform. MPs get a 10% pay rise regardless of how many hours they spend in Parliament

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government and Parliament don’t have the power to set MPs’ pay. That power was given by Parliament to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) in 2010, so that after 2012 MPs no longer had control over their own pay. IPSA conducted a public consultation after 2012 and decided what the salaries of MPs should be after the election.

If you would like to suggest that IPSA introduces performance-related pay for MPs, here’s how to contact them:
