Rejected petition MPs Pay & Allowances

More details

To demand that MPs pay is restructured to reflect both performance and current realities. Limiting MP's basic salary to £60,000 and capping expenses is essential to promote the idea of self-reliance and end the 'Something for nothing' culture prevalent in Westminster. In addition, MP's should be prevented from holding Directorships and Active positions within Companies, Corporations or Businesses of any type during the term of any Parliament where they sit as an MP.
