MPs to pay for own TV licence
I see no reason why we the people should pay out for MPs TV licence.
MPs only work 133 days a year, this means they don't need a licence that covers them for 365 days.
We are paying them to work not sit and watch TV.
TV licence costs £145.50 and there are 650 members of parliament, this is a total cost to the tax payer of £9457.50p in these times of austerity i think its right the members give up the TV licence expense.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This is a matter for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority and not a matter for government
