If the government cuts tax credits we demand they cut MP expenses and 2nd homes
Due to austerity and massive cuts to the public, it is only fair that MP's take a fair cut of the burden too. I think the MP's should have all expenses and second homes cut and commute to work like the rest of us.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government and Parliament don’t have the power to set MPs’ pay or the expenses which they can claim. 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, here’s how to contact them:
