Order public inquiry into accuracy of Vote Remain & UKIP Campaign Claims

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Vote leave & UKIP claims during the EU referendum about immigration and weekly costs of membership (£350m/wk) have since been retracted. These false claims influenced many people to vote leave. Referendum was won on misrepresentations & should not stand. Also give 16yr olds a vote in new referendum

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Hold a public enquiry to the conduct of both sides of the EU referendum campaign
