Rejected petition: MP’s should NOT be allowed to claim expenses for heating.
Rejected on
As they have stopped subsidies, I.e, Winter fuel Allowance, it makes MP’s look hypocritical.
Parliament should never be saying DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO!
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.
