What the petition asks
Secretary of State James Brokenshire MP removed the eminent philosopher Sir Roger Scruton as Chairman of the Building Better, Building Beautiful commission, without full and proper consideration and contrary to the right of free speech on a matter unconnected with his position.
We call for the resignation of James Brokenshire, or in the absence of it, for Parliament to remove him.
