All MPs to take a pay cut to 66% of their salary
All UK MPs to take a pay cut to 66% of their salary in line with the majority of the country.

MP's may talk about being 'in it together' but they sit in a secure and subsidised environment. This pay cut and the money raised can contribute towards the Corona Pandemic by helping those affected.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting MPs' pay. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

You can find out more about IPSA here: https://www.theipsa.org.uk/about-us/

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