Increase frontline workers wages by £10,000 to match MP’s extra expenses
Whilst MP’s are granted an extra 10,000 on top of their expenses to work from home we are expecting frontline workers to continue to put their lives on the line for wages that do not reflect their skill or the risk. This should be a priority for the government at this time.
I want the government to review its treatment of Frontline workers from Care homes to the NHS and remunerate them to at least the same amount that the MP’s are being granted in extra expenses to work from home.

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.
You can find out more about IPSA here: www.theipsa.org.uk/about-us/
