Petition Action

Iain Duncan Smith to live on £53/week for a year.

Additional Information

On Monday 1st April 2013, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Iain Duncan Smith MP) claimed he would be able to live on the £53/week benefits allowance. This would be a marked reduction from his current salary of £1,581/week.

We petition the Minister to put his money where his mouth is and attempt to live on £53/week for the period of one year.
