Petition · past parliament

Make the government start action 50 before October 2016.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

After the referendum to leave the EU we have been told that Mr Cameron will not activate action 50 and that it could take till October to start . Both the EU and the voters want action 50 started . So with this I ask the government to hear the voice of Great Britain.
The EU have stated they want action 50 started straight away and so does the voters that wanted to move away from the EU . So I'm asking the government to start the process before October 2016 and start action 50 now .
