Vote on where to relocate parliament to and sell the Palace of Westminster
Rejected
14 signatures
What the petition asks
The iconic Houses of Parliament are in urgent need of repair. Moving parliament to a modern purpose built site would create much needed economic stimulus elsewhere in the UK. The existing Palace of Westminster would prove to be a popular tourist attraction.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not not explain what type of vote you want. You could start a new petition asking for either a vote in the House of Commons or a public referendum.
