Rejected petition: The Mayor of London should not also be the Police and Crime Commissioner.
Rejected on
Parliament should rule for Police and Crime Commissioners that are independent of political appointments.
I believe that otherwise such a dual appointment has potential to be a conflict of interest.
Why was this petition rejected?
There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
The following petition calls for a similar action:
Create a new, separate role of Police and Crime Commissioner for London
