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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for a specific change to the Parliament Acts.
We can't accept petitions about the allowances system in the House of Lords, because that's the responsibility of the House or Lords. We can only accept petitions about matters that are the responsibility of the Government or the House of Commons.
