This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Petition Hold a public vote on any Government bailouts to individual companies
We request to be consulted and vote democratically on decisions for funding and bailing out large privately owned corporations. We want assurances that private corporations will need public approval prior to Government financial support.
More details
The British Public want assurances from the Government that individual companies will not be bailed out without a public vote. It is of great concern that privately owned businesses would be and are able to request bailouts from the Government, and such businesses can be funded by taxpayers without public consultation or consent. It is not acceptable for the UK Government to make decisions that have far reaching financial impacts on taxpayers without public approval and consultation.
