This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Fund the Leave EU campaign, with the same amount used for the pro-EU leaflet.
David Cameron has spent millions of tax payer’s money on a pro-EU leaflet. This has been delivered to every household in the UK. This was approved by the government using taxpayer’s money. We believe the UK government should debate giving the exact same amount of money to the Leave EU campaign.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. As the Government is not considered a permitted participant under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, it cannot donate to campaign groups.
