Rejected petition Make it illegal for PM to enoble their relatives

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.

There is an independent process for considering nominations for awards and honours, and advising the Queen on granting these, so ithis is not something the Government or House of Commons are responsible for.

You could start a new petition calling for the Government to restrict who can be made a peer, which include preventing family members of the current Prime Minister from being made peers, if that is what you want to happen.

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