Rejected petition Legally cap MPs pay rises at the minimum granted other public sector workers.

In 2015, MPs were granted a 10% pay rise but capped pay rises for others in the public sector below 1%. In 2016, MPs have granted themselves another pay rise above others in the public sector. I propose a legally binding cap on MPs salaries at the minimum granted their public sector colleagues.

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 Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for setting the salary of MPs.

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