Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We need to hold the lyers that campaigned to account. If i was MISS SOLD a product I would take that person/company to court to hold them accountable and get my money back.

We need to do to bring criminal charges against those people that deliberately and in some cases blatantly lied to us.
The biggest political decision for a generation was based on a lie about £350m – the NHS will never see that.

Why it was rejected

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

It's not clear how you would like people to be held to account. It is not the responsibility of the UK Government and Parliament to bring criminal charges against individuals. If you believe that the law has been broken, that would be a matter for the police.
