Rejected petition Stop funding for MP's meals

More details

The government uses £5.7m of tax payers money to subsidise food for MP's and their staff in the Palace of Westminster (House of Commons). In the current economic climate and with children and families enduring food poverty, how can MP's justify spending tax payers money to make their meals even cheaper. Doesn't everyone else have to pay full price for their lunch and dinner?
