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 and expenses. That is the responsibility of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA).

If you would like to contact IPSA about its policies, here’s how to contact them:
