Rejected petition To allow E-petitions about honours

More details

E-petitions on the removal of Knighthoods are rejected because E-petitions "cannot include information about honours or appointments". This arbitrary and high handed stance is outrageous and shows the governments contempt for the views of the Great British public. The public have a right to have their say.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about honours or appointments.

Honours are not dealt with by Parliament, so cannot be considered for e-petitions.

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

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
