Stop MPs claiming meals as public funded expenses.

In light of the recent events, It has become apparent that members of parliament are able to claim food and drink costs as publicly-funded expenses, this petition is here to voice the belief that MPs should pay for their meals out of their annual income, rather than from the support of the public.

This petition was rejected on 30th Oct 2020 for not being a Government or Parliamentary matter

The Petition Committee commented:
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting MPs' pay or expenses. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government. You can find out more about IPSA here: https://www.theipsa.org.uk/about-us/ MPs may claim for the cost of purchasing food and non-alcoholic drinks where they have stayed overnight outside the London Area and their constituency. This is limited to £25 for each night they have stayed, but the claims can be for purchases made during the day.
