This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. It is already illegal for MPs to commit fraud, including a specific offence relating to expenses - providing false or misleading information for allowances claims.

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

Complaints that MPs may have breached IPSA's rules are handled by an independent compliance officer. You can find out more about how complaints are handled here:
