Rejected petition Hold a public consultation on MPs duties, pay, standards and punishments.

MPs pay continues to go up, they can look forward to 'gold plated pensions' and go on to further jobs even after monumental errors.
It's time the people were asked what they think of MPs pay, standards and what punishments they should receive for wrongdoing.

This petition was rejected

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.

Furthermore, IPSA already consults the public. You can find out more about its consultations here:

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