Change an M.P.'s age of entitlement to a Parliamentary pension
M.P's recieve a very generous tax payer funded pension, they should not be allowed to draw this pension until the state retirement age
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 or alter the age of entitlement for MPs’ pensions. 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, expenses or pensions.
If you would like to contact IPSA about its decision, here’s how to contact them:
