Lord Kilmuir's letter to Edward Heath concerning sovereignty loss over ECA1972.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

It is quite clear that Heath overstepped the mark and Constitutional advice with ECA1972.

The police in Westminster are now in possession of many submissions to them describing this treasonable action. So far they have refused to take action thereby committing misprision of high treason. This needs to be discussed at the earliest opportunity since a Referendum clearly compounds this treason.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

If you believe that a crime has been committed, then that would be a matter for the police and the courts.
