Limit MPs meal expenses to 30p a day

Petition Details

MPs currently have an allowance of £25 a day for food when working outside of London or their constituency. It has recently been suggested in Parliament that 30p is sufficient budget for a meal. In the current economic climate I would like Parliament to adjust their allowances accordingly.

Additional Information

To save taxpayer money and align MPs allowances with statements made in the house
