Provide a Suit/Professional clothing Allowance for all Citizens.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Recently David Cameron said to Jeremy Corbyn "Put on a proper suit, & do up your tie” when discussing NHS funding. As Mr Cameron feels that a high quality, professional clothing matters as much as healthcare, it's reasonable for UK citizens to ask for an allowance to cover the cost of such garments.
Evidence of Mr Camerons opinion on the importance of high quality professional clothing, as well as more information & a full case can be found at the following petition on change.org, as 800 characters is not enough to flesh out the full issue. Both this petition, and the petition at change.org should be signed by all interested individuals & parties:
