All MPs take voluntary pay cut of 5% & government ministers a pay cut of 10%.

Petition Details

The UK government is proposing no pay rise for public sector workers and a measly 1% rise for NHS workers. MPs should show leadership by taking a pay cut. Most people in public sector will not be getting any pay rise either.

Additional Information

MPs are by most people’s standards very well paid and need to show leadership in this matter.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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.

Voluntary pay cuts would be a matter for individuals.
