This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Adjust all MP's wages to the minimum wage.
Rejected on
To ensure our Members of Parliament represent the vast majority of this country, we can adjust their massive pay packets to that of a wage which reflects true society.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The Government and Parliament don’t have the power to set MPs’ pay. That power was given by Parliament to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) in 2010, so that after 2012 MPs no longer had control over their own pay.
If you would like to contact IPSA to make this suggestion, here’s how to contact them:
