Ask the Met Police and others to continue to investigate the Leave campaign.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There has been talk of this being politically sensitive but the law must be upheld in a democracy. Please ask whether the law enforcement agencies consider there to have been evidence of law-breaking by the official Leave campaign, and whether an investigation is underway with a view to prosecution.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because this would be an operational decision for the police and not something the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for.
