Rejected Call a byelection for Brecon and Radnorshire constituency.

Rejected on

The sitting MP Chris Davies submitted claims for expenses as an MP that were fraudulent. This was proved in court. This behaviour is totally inappropriate for a sitting MP. Under parlimentary rules if more than 10% of the electorate of his constituency sign this petition a byelection must be held.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because the parliamentary e-petitions site isn't where you sign a petition to recall a Member of Parliament. Recall petitions are run by your local authority.
