This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Review entitlement of taxpayer-funded perks of Former Prime Ministers of the UK.
Rejected on
Lifetime taxpayer-funded perks should NOT be made available to
former Prime Ministers who have:
a) served for less than three years
b) been removed via a vote of no confidence
c) been convicted of a crime or found guilty of breaching the Ministerial Code whilst in office.
Former Prime Ministers of the UK are entitled to several taxpayer-funded perks for life.
This should not be automatic.
Taxpayers deserve value for money.
Prime Ministers who have not been able to hold the job down for a reasonable length of time, who have been removed because of a vote of no confidence or who have broken the law or breached the ministerial Code whilst in office should not be entitled to a lifetime of taxpayer-funded perks.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly 'perks' you are referring to.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
