Rejected petition members of the house of Lords should work a minimum of 40 hours a week.

I want members of the house of lords to only be paid for proper attendance & work a minimum of 40 hours a week.

More details

In this day & age where people are struggling to make ends meet it is unfair that members of the house of lords can turn up for five minutes & get paid for that attendance. They need to be more accountable to the general public who pay their wages.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The attendance allowance paid to members of the House of Lords is a matter for the House of Lords, and not the Government or House of Commons. You can find out more about allowances for Members of the House of Lords here: https://www.parliament.uk/about/mps-and-lords/about-lords/lords-allowances/

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