To debate a vote of no confidence in DWP Minister The Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The Rt Hon. Iain Duncan Smith has deliberately targeted the UK’s disabled and poorest families with cuts leaving the disabled and unemployed UK citizens suffering some of the harshest living standards and in a large majority of cases forced homelessness ever seen.

The British People fought fascism beginning 3rd September 1939 against Nazis - we thought we had won. The refusal of the statistics on benefit deaths caused by Iain Duncan Smith’s department and the government as a whole is unacceptable to say the least.

The British public - call for debate a vote of no confidence in the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions the Right Hon. Iain Duncan Smith with a view to open a debate on the transparency of democracy within the UK.
