This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Maria Miller must resign or be sacked
More details
After being found guilty of claiming expenses to which she was not entitled, and having been found to have endeavoured to mislead/delay the investigation into this matter, Maria Miller should act with a degree of dignity, and resign - failing that, David Cameron should remove her from her Cabinet post, and require her resignation as an MP.
Anybody on benefit accused of falsely claiming some benefit or other, would be sent to prison if found guilty.
Why should Maria Miller be treated differently, particularly as she has admitted fault by apologising?

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Expenses matters are for the Parliamentary authorities.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
