Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition Ask David Cameron if he believes he upholds the 7 Principles of Public Office.

In the light of large bodies of evidence which can be presented to highlight the fact that the Prime Minister has failed to uphold the 7 Principles of Public Office I would like the Government to personally raise the issue with him, in parliament, in order to hear his responses to each bullet-point.

More details

By the Government's own definition (31st May 1995, Committee on Standards in Public Life) the 7 Principles of Public Office are "the basis of the ethical standards expected of public office holders".

By this we take to mean that all politicians in Her Majesty's Government are expected to abide by the ethical standards set out in this document; and are therefore accountable both to the public and to the members of parliament if they can be seen to have failed in doing so.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is a matter for the Prime Minister personally, not the Government or Parliament as a whole. You could write to him to ask these questions.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
