Prevent MPs from claiming meals in expenses
I want MPs to stop using taxpayers money to buy overpriced meals in parliament, and instead fund this themselves
Because the government has seen fit to stop hungry children recieving free school meals over the holidays I see no reason for the public to subside their luxuries when they cannot subsidise other people’s necessities

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.
