This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Mps to accept the British public to clap for them in April in lieu of a payrise.
Rejected on
In April this year take the payment of the British people clapping (on a day of your choosing)in lieu of a pay rise this year.
Due to current circumstances I believe it would be the perfect gesture to show the British public that you're not just an mp for the money,but for the people.
Why was this petition rejected?
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.
You can find more about IPSA here: http://www.theipsa.org.uk/
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
