Rejected petition Build a statue for J Bercow and B Boothroyd at Parliament Sq.

Betty Boothroyd is the first female speaker for the House of Commons and John Bercow has been the speaker in times of incredible hardship and has tried extremely hard to get young people into politics. Both Speaker John Bercow and Speaker Betty Boothroyd deserve a statue at Parliament Square.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because the granting of planning permission in Parliament Square is a matter for Westminster City Council and not the UK Government or Parliament.

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