Reduce MPs pay and expenses from £74,000 to a junior doctors salary of £22,000
Another pay rise for MPs despite freezing/ cutting pay in the public sector for years. They are now wanting to reduce a junior doctors salary by 30%
MPs work 40 hours a week with their pay about to rise to £74000
Their pay should be lowered to that of a junior doctor- 22000 for 56 hours a week
There are currently 650 MPs. This reduction in their pay would have £33,800,000 a year. This equates to 1536 more junior doctors/ nurses/ paramedics

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government and Parliament don’t have the power to set MPs’ pay. That power was given by Parliament to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) in 2010, so that after 2012 MPs no longer had control over their own pay. IPSA conducted a public consultation after 2012 and decided what the salaries of MPs should be after the election.
If you would like to contact IPSA about its decision about MPs' pay, here’s how to contact them:
