Rejected petition A Parliamentary debate on the abolition of subsidised energy payments for MP’s.
I would like to call a Parliamentary debate on the abolition of all subsidised energy payments for MP’s.
MP’s salaries are at minimum many times higher than the average wage of a fully employed Person that has no other choice but to find this money, not to mention part time workers.
More details
With the Governments Net Zero policies pushing energy prices ever higher, I feel that it is grossly unfair on the British people that are already struggling with energy payments while MP’s with second homes are subsidised and feel this matter needs serious Parliamentary debate which should include reinstatement of pensioners winter allowance.

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, such as expenses for MPs' utility bills.
IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
