Rejected petition Get Philip Schofield on the new £50 note
Rejected on
A social superstar, a nation treasure, the face of Britain. Why wouldn’t you want Philip Schofield as the face of the new £50 note? Go out and make a difference - show the world what Britain’s really about.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Bank notes are the responsibility of the Bank of England, which is independent of the Government and Parliament.
