M.P's recieve a very generous tax payer funded pension, they should not be allowed to draw this pension until the state retirement age

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 Government and Parliament don’t have the power to set or alter the age of entitlement for MPs’ pensions. 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, expenses or pensions.

If you would like to contact IPSA about its decision, here’s how to contact them:

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