Rejected petition MP's Shouldn't Receive Expenses For Unused Bedrooms

More details

Since the government has decided that anyone who has an extra bedroom shouldn't receive any state subsidy for it I feel it is only fair that all state funded people should abide by the same rules.

Therefore, MP's, for example, should only receive expences to cover the cost of the bedrooms they need. For example,single MP's should only receive public funding for one bedroomed accommodation. If they require a larger property they should meet this additional cost out of their own funds

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

MP's expences are a matter for Parliament, not the Government.

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