Void Chris Packhams petition which obtained signatures through false information
Rejected

What the petition asks
Chris Packhams petition for a moratorium on wading birds obtained 1000's of extra signatures through lying about specific birds being shot of which are protected in the UK. I am calling for this petition to be void.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
