This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Rejected petition Charge vegans for the pointless cost of changing to a fat free £5 note.

Vegans are petitioning to force the Bank of England to eliminate the use of tallow in £5 notes. This is a pointless and rediculous waste of money and resource so the idea should either be quashed or the Vegans themselves be forced to pay for the change.

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.

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