Rejected petition: Mps should pay their own expenses not the tax payer

Rejected on

To stop mp's claiming for expenses, bills, clothes etc when they can use their own wages

Because there are people, like disabled people for eg and old vulnerable people who need tax payers money more.


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.
