End expenses or pay for children's school meals
Check your hypocrisy. End your theft of taxpaywrs money you claim as 'expenses' or pay for hungry children's food when you clearly have the money (did someone mention payrise)
I want you to change your mind on this, as I find it expectionally poor taste that a bunch of people who have just found themselves enough money to give themselves a pay rise cant find the money to give starving children meals.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting MPs' pay or expenses. 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/
MPs may claim for the cost of purchasing food and non-alcoholic drinks where they have stayed overnight outside the London Area and their constituency. This is limited to £25 for each night they have stayed, but the claims can be for purchases made during the day.
