Conservative MP David Davis intends to present a motion on Thursday accusing the former PM of contempt of Parliament.
In the event that Parliament votes in favour of this motion, it has the power to commit Blair to the clock tower under Big Ben.
We, the undersigned, call on them to use this power.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can’t accept petitions calling for an inquiry into whether an MP has committed a contempt of the House of Commons. That’s because neither the House of Commons nor the Government is responsible for deciding that an inquiry that an inquiry of that kind should happen.

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