Rejected petition Payment of Mrs Thatcher's funeral

More details

Whereas we have no objection to giving Mrs Thatcher a lavish funeral the country should not be asked to pay for it from public funds, given the state of the economy, and it should be paid for by private donations only. Any shortfall should be covered entirely by the Conservative Party from their funds.
