Rejected petition Freeze politicians pay this year

Lead by example and ensure that they are not given pay increases. Insist that the body that decides on their pay increases know that they will reject any increments for the unity and benefit of the country.

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government and MPs' pay is automatically adjusted in line with IPSA's recommendations.
