This petition was submitted during the 2010 to 2015 Parliament
Rejected petition MP's Pensions should change too!
Rejected on
MP's should pay the equivalent amount of contributions as other Public Services. ie..all MP's should pay 11% of their pay (same as Police Officers) to contribute to their pensions. If the contribution rate rises with changes then theirs should also.
After all the MP's get a handsome pension compliments of the tax payer. As they say - we're all in it together!
