This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Government sets national minimum wages, but isn't responsible for setting pay for privately employed individuals.

We could accept a petition about linking public sector pay increases to the consumer price index, or committing to particular increases in minimum wage, if that is something you would like to see happen.

The setting of MPs' salaries is a matter for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), not the UK Government or Parliament: www.theipsa.org.uk/
