Rejected petition Food Allowance
More details
The food allowance for MPs should be abolished. Every citizen needs to eat and 95% of the population pays for their own food, whenever and wherever they need it.
In an age of austerity, there can be no justification for paying for MPs' food allowances. Like most workers, they should pay for food out of their own salaries.
