Rejected petition: Gov't 2 advise Bank of England not 2 take Churchill's face off of our £5 note.
Rejected on
To instruct the Bank of England to re-think this idea.
This act by the Bank erodes a little more from our national pride and history.
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.
