Rejected petition Put an end to subsidised food and alcohol for MP's and Lords

It costs the British tax payer more than £6 million pounds p/a to supply public servants with subsidised food and alcohol. Given the recent MP salary increase to £74000 (before expenses) it isn't unreasonable to expect them to pay for subsistence in the same way the majority of other workers do.

More details

The average wage in the UK is £26000 - £74000 pa from the public purse is quite enough. Equality with other workers!
