This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Rejected petition Stop any additional Government funding for EU referendum Remain Campaign.

The Electoral commission has put a spending limit of £7 million for each of the Lead campaign groups (Remain or Leave) in the EU referendum.

More details

As the Government has seen fit to spend £9.2 million on one free distribution of information to voters, this clearly demonstrates they have taken the lead in Remain campaign. The distribution of a one sided booklet with a view to remain in the EU, and exceed the campaign limit, undermines the objectives of the Referendum and demonstrates a lack of integrity.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start a petition calling on the Government to not use any public money on publishing documents which make the case for the UK remaining in the EU.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
