Rejected petition Chris Grayling should resign over the £13.8 contract given to Seaborne Freight

The contract was assigned without any due dilligence checks to a company with ni history, no assets and no expertize in the field. Governement has funded a start up saying that it helps small British companies. It is unfair to the tax payer and to other businesses that did not get a similar chance

More details

Ben Sharp, Seaborne Freight‘s chief executive, previously ran a business that was liquidated owing money to the UK tax authorities. Mr Grayling had no reasonable grounds to assign - without tendering even - a contract to this company. He should step down and answer legally for this decision.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about honours or appointments.

The resignation of an MP/Minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
