Stop MPs being allowed to claim Christmas parties through expenses.

More details

This is disgusting especially when I (and others) are working paying increasing taxes and bills meaning we are having unbelievably low living standards to sort out your mess! I work full time and can’t afford Christmas parties so why should my taxes pay for yours?!

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 out more about IPSA here: http://www.theipsa.org.uk

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