This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

You can find out how to contact IPSA here: http://www.theipsa.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/

We could accept a petition calling on the House of Commons to establish a halls of residence available to MPs, as this is something the House of Commons could do.
