Replace Liam Fox with The Duke of Edinburgh as President of the Board of Trade.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

After "Doctor" Fox's inept demand that the Japanese hurry up and sign a trade deal with the UK - having just spent years concluding what appears an excellent one with the EU - it's clear that the UK needs someone with more experience of east-Asian diplomacy. Prince Philip must surely be the man.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
