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 decision for individual MPs and charities.

If you would like the law to be changed, so that anyone who is a patron or a trustee of a charity is automatically disqualified from being an MP, you could start a petition calling for that.

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