Make all MP's take a 30% salary cut while Parliament is imposing lockdowns
MP's need to realise the hardship they are imposing on workers and the self-employed by closing down the hospitality sector and small businesses. We are all in this together.
If MP's were financially disadvantaged, like many of their constituents, they might change the lockdown policies that are destroying our economy and jeopardising prospects for young people

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.
You can find out more about IPSA here: www.theipsa.org.uk/about-us/
We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
