Rejected petition Stop all MP’s food and drink subsidies.

MP’s voted to stop free school meals, then I believe we should at least have a debate on whether we should stop free MP meals, and subsidies for their bar too.

The go to phrase for so long was “we are all in this together!”, then please prove this.

Put your money where your mouth is, pay up.

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.

Catering services for MPs, their staff, House of Commons staff and others in the House of Commons are provided by an in-house team who do not provide a subsidised service in the commercial sense.

You can find out more about the net costs of catering services in the House of Commons here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the UK Gocernment or Parliament to do.

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