Stop financial cuts to emergency services, fund from governments own pay rises
MPs to get a pay rise of 1.3%, nine months after they received a backdated boost to £74,000.
This will take effect from April, equates to another £962 in MPs’ pockets each year and breaks the government’s own 1% cap on public sector pay rises.

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.
You could start a new petition calling for financial cuts to emergency services to be reversed.
