Rejected petition Change MPs meal allowances to 30p

MP’s meal allowances should be reduced to 30 pence in line with MP Lee Anderson’s comments that this is how the public should budget for their families

More details

MPs should be able to lead by example. In times of hardship the country require strong leadership. Also, apparently they’re the experts when it comes to sensible budgeting so they will be able to show us all how easy it is to prepare nutritionally balanced meals for just 30 pence
