Rejected petition A cap on MP's expenses and to remove allowances for luxury items e.g limos

I am writing a petition to cap the expenses that MP's claim unnecessarily from tax payers money. They want to make cuts which affect vunerable people and which will cause severe financial problems. While they search for ways to make cuts they dont consider cutting back their own expenses.

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 aren't responsible for the rules on MPs' expenses. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for the rules about MPs’ expenses and business costs. You can find out more about IPSA here:

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