Petition Action

members of the house of Lords should work a minimum of 40 hours a week.

Petition Details

I want members of the house of lords to only be paid for proper attendance & work a minimum of 40 hours a week.

Additional Information

In this day & age where people are struggling to make ends meet it is unfair that members of the house of lords can turn up for five minutes & get paid for that attendance. They need to be more accountable to the general public who pay their wages.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The attendance allowance paid to members of the House of Lords is a matter for the House of Lords, and not the Government or House of Commons. You can find out more about allowances for Members of the House of Lords here: www.parliament.uk/about/mps-and-lords/about-lords/lords-allowances/
