Members of Parliament should take a 20% pay cut.(Due to Covid-19)
Members of Parliament should take a 20% pay cut till the end of the year to support the economy both in salary and expenses.
Back date from March 24/03/2020.
Would like the current Government to pass an emergency ruling to make this happen.
During these difficult times of the Covid19 virus the working population have made some sacrifices and some the ultimate sacrifice losing their job.
Members of Parliament need to set an example and lead from the front.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting 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.
