Rejected petition Cancel the MP's 2.7% pay rise for 2019/20 & divert the money to social care etc.

Rejected on 7 March 2019

I along with many others find it totally wrong that MP's should receive further pay Rises whilst the country is in such a state of disarray?
Let's get this to 100,000 see them debating this in Parliament will find out who's in it for the money and who is in it for the better good

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 MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

You can find out how to contact IPSA here:

You could start a new petition - for example, you could ask for the Government to increase funding for social care.

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