Rejected petition Remove David Tredinnick

More details

We, the undersigned, demand the immediate removal of David Tredinnick from the Health Select Committee and the Science and Technology Select Committee.

Mr. Tredinnicks's personal beliefs are not in alignment with his duties on these committees. He has declared that his is guided by astrology and that those who criticise this superstition are "ignorant". He has expressed in the House of Commons a belief that "blood does not clot under a full moon" as one of his many alternative medical stances. He believes that astrology and alternative medicine could be used to "relieve the pressure on the NHS".

While that may work, allowing people to suffer or die unnecessarily is not our preferred means of pressure relief.
