Link future pay awards to members of parliament to public service workers.

Petition Details

Year after year MP's have voted to accept pay awards greater than those they impose on low paid public service workers. It is time this was stopped and the playing field levelled. It implies that MP's are a law unto themselves and they are the privileged elite.

Additional Information

To show that after 10 years of austerity they wont take pay rises far in excess of those they award low paid public service workers.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government and MPs do not have a role in voting on or deciding their pay and expenses.
