This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you want to end public funding to the House of Lords as an institution or whether you are concerned about Lords expenses. We cannot accept petitions about House of Lords expenses. You can find out more about House of Lords expenses here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. You may wish to sign this petition instead: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/209433

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