Rejected petition Call for Government to fire Priti Patel as International Development Secretary

In August, Patel met with the Prime Minister of Israel, along with other officials, whilst on a 'personal holiday'. Patel broke Ministerial Code by not informing the Foreign Office of her meetings nor recording minutes of the meetings. She must be held to account, as part of our elected Government.
