Rejected petition Remove the pension for life after you have served as a Prime Minister.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Under the Ministers’ Pension Scheme Ministers, including the Prime Minister, accrue a part of their pensionable salary in each year they are a contributing member of the scheme, and have a normal pension age linked to their State Pension age. You can find out more about this scheme here: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn04586/

We could accept petitions calling for changes to the current scheme, if it was clear what changes you'd like to see.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
