Rejected petition Include a flower graphic to new meat-free fiver (£5) once they are available.

It has been established that the new £5 polymer banknotes include a small quantity of animal derived tallow. Once tallow-free notes can be made the problem will not be solved for years if the new notes are not easily identifiable.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Bank notes are the responsibility of the Bank of England, which is independent of the Government and Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking the Government to urge the Bank of England to take this action.

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