Stop taxpayer money from going towards MP's £25 per day food allowance.
If Parliment refuses to feed hungry children then why should we feed them? Everyday tax money is used to give MP's a £25 per day food allowance. That is money earned by hard working British people, it should be used for something that helps this country and not feeding MP's.
If the members of Parliment are giving themselves a pay rise and refusing to feed hungry children then they can pay for their own lunch.

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.

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.
