This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Sell the houses of parliament and move government to somewhere less expensive.
Rejected on
The houses of parliament are in urgent need of repair. The iconic buildings would be a very popular tourist attraction, say, as a hotel. Government in London encourages expense fiddling by MPs. If Salford is good enough for the BBC, it should be good enough for parliament.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure what action you would like the Government and Parliament to take. If you would like the Houses of Parliament to be sold, and Parliament and Government to move to Salford, you could start a petition asking for that to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
