Rejected petition: Make it so MPs have to pay their own utilities costs like everyone else.

Rejected on

Stop using taxpayer money to pay for MPs utilities costs where they reside.

It is unfair.


Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

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