Petition Action

Disable minister expenses completely until energy prices are level with 2021

Petition Details

Prohibit ministers from claiming any form of expenses for the duration of the current energy crisis i.e until energy prices equal those of 2021.All saved expenses should go back into supporting consumers or creating a fund for renewable energy sources or emergencies regarding energy throughout UK

Additional Information

1) the government should provide a level of support for the population whereby the consumer is largely protected from increased energy prices
2) it is morally wrong for highly paid ministers to claim expenses while there are members of the population choosing between heating their homes & their families eating
3) having a fund that is dedicated to renewable home-grown sources of energy and contingency for UK energy would safeguard the population against future energy crises

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.

IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
