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, including money MPs can claim for subsistence expenses, such as meals. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

You can find out more about IPSA here: http://www.theipsa.org.uk

We could accept a petition calling on the House of Commons to close all its catering services, with the savings being used to fund school meals, if that's what you want to happen.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Raise prices for House of Commons catering services to enable full cost recovery: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/622377
