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 petition seeks action from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa). Ipsa is a body statutorily independent of Parliament and Government and therefore the UK Government and Parliament is not responsible for its work programme and cannot direct it to undertake the review which is sought.

You might wish to submit a petition calling for a Government review of 1% pay settlements in the light of the recent pay settlement for MPs.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
