This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition MP's pay increase MUST include EXPENSES CUT
More details
With the news of 11% pay increase in 2015 for MP's while the rest of the public sector will increase 1%.
If they take this increase then the MP's expense MUST be CUT.
Other public sector workers do not get these extravagant expenses.
Even our armed forces have to pay their way. They get a pitiful fuel allowance (that has been cut over the last 3 years) if they live further from camp and subsidized food on camp. They rest they pay out of their wages.
Their expenses should not be paying for MP's to stay at luxury hotels or paying their heating bills.
If they must stay over in a hotel JUST like every other workforce it should be a budget hotel etc.
If we really are in it together then the MP's MUST show they are by cutting their expenses to the bare minimum.
