Rejected petition: Reduce by 50% All Available Expenses Claimable by MP’s, Lords and all Ministers
Rejected on
This petition is a request from the public for all claimable expenses to be reduced by 50% for all MP’s, Lords and all Government ministers in the interest of public finances, out dated allowances that have no bearing should be removed completely and modern technology should be embraced 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' pay and allowances. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

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