Have IPSA investigate work of members of the Lords who claim daily allowance.
Baroness D'Souza was carrying out an investigation of the work done by members of the House of Lords who claim the daily allowance (£300). She stopped the probe fearing a "media storm" over how little was actually being done.
IPSA should complete the inquiry and publish the findings.
Originally raised by Sophie Jamieson writing in the Telegraph, but also covered in BBC's "Meet the Lords" documentary.
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:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
You can find out how to contact IPSA here:

If you would like Parliament to change the law, to make IPSA responsible for allowances for Members of the House of Lords, you could start a new petition asking for that.
