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 cannot accept a petition calling for a member of the House of Lords to be expelled. This site is jointly owned by the UK Government and the House of Commons, neither of which has the power to do this. Only the House of Lords has power to expel or suspend one of its members for any length of time.

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