This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand you would like members of the public to be able to claim the same expenses as MPs. However MPs are reimbursed only for costs incurred in the performance of their parliamentary functions, so it's not clear how members of the public would be able to claim these same expenses. You can find out more about which expenses MPs can claim for here: www.theipsa.org.uk/publications/the-scheme.

You could have a petition calling for the Government to set up a grant scheme to cover all workers' expenses, if that is something you'd like to see happen.
