Petition Action

MPs to be fined a days wage if they fall asleep during debates in the chamber.

Petition Details

Photos of MPs asleep in the chamber during debates in parliament have been circulated. As a tax payer living in Britain, I find it appalling that MPs fall asleep during debates, which they are being PAID to attend- using tax payers money. MPs have to be fined and disciplined if found asleep.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

MPs are not employed by Parliament. All decisions about MPs' pay are the responsibility of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), which is independent of both Parliament and the Government.
