Rejected petition Defund the European Research Group who use Public Money with no accountability
UK policy has been heavily influenced by this cabal of secretive ministers which is funded from the Public purse.
We, the public, have no electoral rights in appointments for this group.
We have no transparency on the "research" carried out by this group or who it aims to benefit
More details
This group appears to be advising the Government to break international Law. This criminality & breach of Ministerial Code expectations is intolerable in an open Democracy & the group responsible must be accountable if it is a Public funded body.
