","additional_details":"These are currently due to continue to be frozen for the next 5 years. We want the Government to raise the thresholds to £18,000 as we believe millions of people are hurting financially.\r\n\r\nThe Prime Minister previously hinted at raising the allowances, we believe he is now apparently back tracking.\r\n \r\nHad thresholds not been frozen in 2021 they today could be around £16,400 a year. Governments are expecting people to take what we feel is a 10 year pay freeze, which I believe is not acceptable.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":11,"closing_date":"2027-04-06","created_at":"2026-09-03T16:26:21.283Z","updated_at":"2026-10-06T16:35:30.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-10-06T12:08:20.663Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-05T12:58:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Mike Haynes","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"HMT","name":"HM Treasury","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-treasury"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":11}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Honiton and Sidmouth","ons_code":"E14001291","mp":"Richard Foord MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Kenilworth and Southam","ons_code":"E14001309","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Jeremy Wright KC MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kettering","ons_code":"E14001311","mp":"Rosie Wrighting MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newark","ons_code":"E14001375","mp":"Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North East Hampshire","ons_code":"E14001392","mp":"Alex Brewer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Sunderland Central","ons_code":"E14001531","mp":"Lewis Atkinson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Tiverton and Minehead","ons_code":"E14001548","mp":"Rachel Gilmour MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Yeovil","ons_code":"E14001603","mp":"Adam Dance MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North East","ons_code":"A","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":2},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":6}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
