Limit MP claimable expenses

Petition Details

MPs are currently allowed to claim expenses for more things than UK citizens earn per year.
We elected them to have our voice not our pockets.
Some MPs claim hundreds of thousands of pounds a year to do nothing more than have a second house in London.

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. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
