Rejected petition Ensure Vote Leave's "£350 million for the NHS" pledge is kept.

Vote Leave emblazoned this pledge on the side of its campaign bus: “Let’s give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week.” Now they claim this was never a commitment.

In the interests of democracy the Government MUST ensure such a central campaign pledge is implemented.
