This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Rejected petition Reduce MP expenses & items they can claim for

MPs are spending far too much of the tax payers money on personal gains its time we regulated their expenses to solely what benefits the country

More details

Its time those that get expenses from being a PM, Lord or MP had them regulated a lot harder especially in this time of austerity after all

"were in this together"

Expenses should be limited to Stationary, Economy Travel (want more pay the rest out of your pocket like every other worker has to), basic rate for hotels

No Gardner, Maids, repairs or tv licenses paid for, limited drinks expenses, No 2nd home paid for

The tax payer isn't paying for those in power to live a luxury life.
