Parliament to debate whether Christopher Chope's Knighthood should be removed

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Sir Christopher Chope today (15 June 2018) used Parliamentary procedure to block legislation which would have made "upskirting" (the invasion of a female's sexual privacy) a criminal offence.

Parliament should debate whether he should have his Knighthood for "political and public service" removed
