The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' pensions. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government. You can find out more about IPSA here: http://www.theipsa.org.uk
We can accept petitions about leaving payments and pensions for Minsters, which are set by the Government. We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
