Rejected petition Armed forces pay increases to be the same percentage as MP's every increase!

regulary we witness members of parliament voting for the a payrise of 11% for example i want the that percentage voted for by the MP's to always be the same for serving members of the armed forces. This helps with under paying of the armed forces and overpaying of MP's

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 contact IPSA about its decision, here’s how to contact them:

We already have a petition about pay rises for the armed forces, which you might like to sign:

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