Reverse ban on eurospectic ministers from speaking in the House of Commons

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Cameron's ban on MP's that wish to voice a case to leave the EU is stifling the need for equality in this important debate about the UK's future and sets a damning precedent to the public on this matter.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

The Government does not have the power to ban MPs from speaking in the House of Commons.
