Reduce MPs wages by 20% and stop all expenses during this pandemic.
We want all MPs to take a pay cut of 20% and to stop MPs use of expenses during this pandemic. This can resume after the pandemic is declared over by SAGE
We want all MPs to set an example and take a pay cut during the pandemic to show solidarity and reduce expense to the tax payer during this time like other countries like New Zealand has. Pay can resume after the pandemic is over (to be determined by SAGE)

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.
