Petition Action

MPs should be paid 80% of their salaries in the second lockdown.

Petition Details

MPs are asking furloughed employees to take a 20% pay cut for the duration of the second lockdown. We think they should do the same.

Additional Information

MP’s should stand in solidarity with the people they serve. If the whole country is expected to live on less money, so should the people enforcing the rule.

This petition was rejected

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.
