Rejected petition All MP's to receive national living wage

A petition to change MP's salaries to the national living wage for the hours they work.
Thus saving the UK taxpayer money

More details

The government has for too long allowed MP's to have free reign on their income and expenses! Costing the UK taxpayer considerably!

MP's are public servants! They should be paid the national living wage in order to hold the correct values for the benefit of the country, not their wallets.
