Rejected petition Use MPs expenses to make London great & safe again

Since the beginning of the year 60 young people have lost their lives to knife and gun crime and the government have done nothing to really address the violence on our streets. We need to take action now to protect our children and community.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you're concerned about knife and gun crime in London, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for MPs' expenses. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to provide more funding to tackle knife and gun crime in London, if that's what you'd like to happen.

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