Freeze MP's Pay Until Budget Cuts Stop and Public Services Spend increase by 25%
We want the Government to stop taking wage increases and expenses increases until such times that public services spending has increased 25% above record highest since records began.
Why we want this is because despite years of cuts MP's and The House Of Lords have increased their pay from our taxes instead of investing that money into our public services and until they improve them instead of cutting them they should not receive any more wage rises until they improve out public services.
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 MPs' pay. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
