Closed petition Abolish the Palace of Westminster restaurant subsidy for those earning over £23K
Closed on
In 2016, the food/drink subsidy in Parliament cost around £3.7M. This use of taxpayers’ money must stop for higher earners, with funds diverted to public services where it is needed. Citizens who themselves struggle to buy food should not be forced to help feed MPs who earn significant wages.
