This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Iain Duncan Smith to prove that he can live on £53 per week, week in, week out, not just one week however, that's simple.
More details
Time for MPs to stand by their words. Iain Duncan Smith has stated that he could live on £53 per week if he had to.
The proof of the pudding they say is in the eating.
Step up to the plate Iain Duncan Smith and show people how it's done.
However, let us get a real picture, living on £53 per week for just one week I think is possible but let the Work and Pensions Secretary try it for a month or longer as he is asking some people to do.
If we are "all in this together", lead by example and let us see how it is possible to "live" on this amount of money
