Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Scottish Regional Assembly First Minister Nicola Sturgeoen MSP has over the last financial year continued to refuse to declare the expense she has cost the public purse on her many trips all over Europe in a fruitless attempt to derail the Brexit process as voted for by 18 million British Citizens
There is a growing public interest in the expenditure Ms Sturgeon is costing the public purse . She has set up ' expert ' Brexit committees, she has went on numerous trips to Europe to meet with several EU officials of which is not her remit as head of a UK devolved assembly.
This has been made even more clearly in the last week by the Supreme Court ruling that international affairs are not the business of regional assemblies.
Ms Sturgeon has repeatedly denied requests to reveal her expenditure.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
