Conduct a review in to MP's pay and link the same to attendance in the Commons.
I believe that MP's pay should be linked to their attendance in the House of Commons, similar to the system applied in the House of Lords.
MP's should receive a basic salary in line with the national average salary, with further payments made on attendance in the House of Commons.
I want the Government to take action as far too often I witness important debates in the House of Commons with very few attendees.

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. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
