Stop pay rise for MP's and cap their salaries
It was announced that the salary for a Member of Parliament will now be increased to £74,862 per annum. This salary is usually additional income as many MP's - such as our 'beloved' Minister of Health Jeremy Hunt - receive payments from their own companies.
This petition is in conjunction with the new contract being imposed on junior doctors that will see Saturday made into a normal working day. It is immoral to increase the salary of the very institute that is attempting to reduce the salary of our junior doctors.
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. 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.
If you would like to contact IPSA about its decision, here’s how to contact them:
