This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition To stop MPs receiving a salary from tax payers money.
Rejected on
With MPs receiving £78.000 from tax payers money but never representing the people who voted them.
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 contact IPSA with your suggestions, here’s how to contact them:
