Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

Complaints that MPs may have breached IPSA's rules are handled by an independent compliance officer. You can find out more about how complaints are handled here:

The Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the membership of political parties.

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