Recall any MP for voting against excluding the NHS from future trade deal

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Recall all MP’s who break their electoral promises.
These MP’s promised that the NHS would not be part of any future trade deals but have now blocked any protection that could’ve been put in place. This is a break of an electoral promise.

Why it was rejected

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

The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for removing MPs from office because of their votes, views or opinions. That is a decision for their constituents at an election.

If an MP has been convicted of certain criminal offences or suspended from the House of Commons for at least 10 sitting days, they may be subject to a recall petition.

Petitions to recall Members of Parliament do not appear on this website and the Petitions Committee are not responsible for them. They are run locally, by the returning officer for your area, and have to be signed in person, by post or proxy. Your local authority will have issued a “notice of recall petition” on their website. This will tell you how and when you can sign the petition.
